Machete
    #12447396 - 04/24/10 12:24 AM (14 years, 28 days ago)

Is it legal to carry one or conceal one if it comes to self-defense? Because I might have to pull one out on some white power wanna-be assholes. By the way, I'm in california.

I just bought a nice, 23 inch one with a nylon sheath.

The applicable law is california penal code sections 12020 and 653k.

You can carry a machete as long as you don't hide it, don't go to los angeles county, don't go to a public meeting, and don't go to a school.

Carry mase or a taser, not a machete. If your going to defend yourself, try to do it intelligently. If your just trying to carve up some skin heads, which is what it sounds like, why are you even asking about the legality of the weapons possession.

Well, I don't think a taser is going to be able to fend over like 5 of them, unless you're talking about that taser they use in Duke Nukem. :rolleyes:

EDIT: forgot to mention that these skinheads usually carry shanks, so I highly doubt that a taser is going to do much when they could stab me before i could use the taser.

i rather be an alive and free queer than a dead/in jail rest of my life badass. and i use the term badass lightly, cuz anyone i see carrying around a big ass knife is usually an inbred hick.

...Buy a gun?

Your machete is likely not going to do much against 4-8 people carrying knives, unless you live like Stephen Segal in the movies.

I know how to slash and kick people off of me, it's not that hard and this machete is light, so slashing around isn't a problem.

I know I'll have a reach advantage because they're only going to have a 3-6 inch knife and I've got a 23 inch machete. All I'm really wondering is if I could use it as self-defense if it comes to being really outnumbered.

Why even bother with them? I mean, unless they're your next door neighbors and you're forced to see them everyday or something, no dumb asses are worth inconveniencing yourself over, what do you have to prove?

Well, I don't have anything to prove, it's just that these asshole skinheads are the ones around here have no common sense. They think that they can stroll around my neighborhood being loud, littering, grafitti, etc

I told them to fuck off and that's when they threatened to jump me, so...that's about it. I'm not a fighter, but I know these guys have knives and fight dirty. They're basically waiting for me at the spots I hang out at, so I'm tired of that.

Pepper spray is the way to go.

If they take a blast in the face they're going to go down or run off to wash it off.  Their only choice would be to cover their face and lunge blindly forward with the knife. 

Spray, sidestep any lunging fools, and spray some more.  It's easy to defend against several people with pepper spray.  Once they take a face hit they're done, or at least blinded.

Just keep your distance.  Don't get close to them.  If they try to get close holler "step off" and if they don't then let fly with the spray.  People with shanks always want to get close and get one hand on you so they can hold you in range and strike with the knife repeatedly.

I can attest to pepperspray working. Ive lit up a whole venue before with bear mace when things got shady, and it gives you plenty of time to bounce.

Have you considered the possibilty that even though you haven't seen a gun, one of them might have one? Bear mace has a 20' range, will get you a lot less jailtime if any at all, and will make it a lot harder for them to aim. If you claim to know they don't have a gun, as I can already foresee that reply coming, then your just being a fucking moron.

Bear mace isn't pepper spray, it comes out as an orange foam that completely covers what your spraying at and chemical burns the shit out of it. You think you are going to deter a bear with a police issue can of pepper spray? There is nothing pussy about bear mace.
