If you feel like there are more important threads deserving attention, please feel free to sage in your answers. I'd still appreciate a bit of help tho.
The situation is rather bad here. Where I am from, and I think most of Europe is the same, we are literally forbidden from defending ourselves.
I have literally no access to weapons except hunting rifles (which we obviously can't carry around). Guns you can't even buy unless you're a private security, much less carry around.
Same goes for combat knives or stuff like batons, swords and maces (mentioning the latter two just for completion). You can't own them without a permit, and you can't carry them around unless you're cops or private sec.
Taser are a no-no.
Pepper sprays, and only weak types, are literally the only kind of weapons we're freely allowed to own and carry around.
And the streets are less safe by the day. Pardon the blogposting, but just today a couple of niggers mocked me by going "Yo friend, what'cha lookin' at, this yo bike? Ya want it?". Doesn't help I can't shut up and I told them i just want a fucking gun.
Now the bike wasn't mine and I walked away, but this isn't the first time this happens and frankly it is not a stretch to fear I will either be attacked or witness an attack sometimes in the future.
So to cut to the chase, I'd like to know how other european anons manage defending themselves and those around them. Particularly those who live in cities or are forced to go around cities at late hours for work.
I have thought about carrying around a knife, but then again, despite my decent build i really am not confident i can beat a nigger in a knifed fight, given i've never been in such a fight before.
