How old are you?

16

Though my father-in-law is going to teach me, but I want to get comfortable with gun safety a bit before handling an actual one. I am 25

Yeah. That's a good plan.

My mom went with our neighbor to learn to shoot a handgun a couple days ago

My dad doesn't know about it though.

I have fired a pistol. But I am not comfortable handling knowing where the barrel is pointed yet

Yeah, awareness is an important thing to have.

So airsoft pistol it is for now

Ye. That's good that you are able to get some practice like that. Even better in my opinion that you are taking the initiative to do it.

Like, I don't want live in fear of them (I had no knife training (for cooking or cutting boxes open and alike) because my mom was a bit over protective). I want to be able to handle.one to protect myself, family, and my friends if need be.

Of course. It's sad to me that some people just don't see how beneficial they can be, if that makes sense. Especially since they can be used to defend not just yourself, but others. As far as knives go, that's also important. They're a lot more versatile and have a lot of uses as a tool. I personally carry one everywhere but school and other places where they aren't allowed.

I keep two pocket knives on.me sometimes

Glad to hear it.

Never really been a knife guy personally, much rather have a gun. It's so weird with my mom, my grandfather got me a shotgun for my first birthday and I've grown up with guns and most men in my family hunt. However it's kinda freaked her out when she found out I bought my first pistol earlier this year at a gun show and plan to get an AR as soon as the parts get available. She is also still weird about me having a carry permit and always carrying.

One has a seatbelt cutter and a window breaker. The other is just better to me

Hmmmm.

Yeah I have one with the seat belt cutter and window breaker, but mine is kinda cheap.

I am a knife collector at heart XD

Nice. What is your favorite knife?

Not that I can fight with one. I would rather have a gun for that

100%

Though I'd like to learn to fight with a knife.

I used to keep a tactical pen in my pocket with a window breaker when on my university campus because I couldn't have a knife or gun but Iost it last year and never got a new one because it was kinda large.

My friend and I were thinking about learning to knife fight and train with each other.

Yeah. On the campus by my school you can carry knives.

My knife I love is downstairs

I don't want to move 😂

Fair enough

My graduate university I'm at right now you can carry a knife but couldn't at my undergrad.

Interesting.

I wonder why that is.

My window breaker o e

Well, my undergrad University was in a big liberal city, and my graduate university is a rural engineering university.

That's sick

Ahhhhhh

That makes more sense

You think the engineering school would allow it

They could critique so many knifes

It does, I said I can carry a knife now if I wanted but couldn't before
