Rule #9: Never go anywhere without a knife. True then; true now.
I have at least 2 on me at all times. Primary and a backup.

I am so freaking glad I like in the US and more specifically Texas.
Self defense is a tricky issue in the UK, including in your own home. The standard of reasonable fear does not apply. The standard is proportional use of force to defend yourself. If, in your own home, you are attacked by a knife wielder and you kill the man with a gun, you may be turned into the aggressor. The moment your use of force exceeds the aggressors use of force you become the aggressor. It's a strange system. Of course, the UK has always been one in which the citizenry exists at the pleasure of her majesty and not the other way around. Thus the individual really has no claim to any sort of
apriori liberty.
Sure, because 70 year old women engaging young thugs in a knife fight makes it "fair" and the libs are all about "fair."
The real reason the law is applied this way is actually quite insidious.

Yes, it is true. That movement got started after they banned guns. Guess what, assaults with knives skyrocketed. Take away the knives and what will they want to outlaw next? Cricket bats? Fists?

Glass beer mugs have been on the prospective ban list for awhile now.
