John,
learn how to resize pics   - you dunce.   

If you're going to use a rolling pin or baseball bat ... don't forget to put a long sock over it. Then, when the perp tries to pull it away from you, they are left holding a sock as you whack 'em over the ear 'ol again. 

That's a neat trick to sock it to em Capt Nemo 

When a potential 'easy meat' victim for an assailant produces an item for defence, the easy meat factor is suddenly voided and most assailants don't like 'hard work' and usually forfeit their attack in search of easier prey.

So the scum are using machetes and knives and it's obvious that the Law is failing to protect the innocents. Banning machetes, won't help the cause, because assailants will just use something else. For me, making myself a nice 'ornamental' Cutlass (short sword for fighting in close upon ships of old) that is clipped onto a nice ornamental wood board with an engraved brass plaque reading "Who dares, wins" on it along with "First place. Cutting edge technology", can rest just behind front passenger seat for easy reach.
Of course, if a Cop finds it. I just say I was just awarded it by the women of the CWA.

I'm sure some machete, baseball bat, knife, etc wielding scumbag thinking I was easy meat for a car jacking or mugging, etc. Will find that my producing of my Cutlass will show that they will have their work cut out for them and initiate their decision to flee. It's not just about me. It's also about seeing an innocent or more, being attacked by such like machete or whatever and not being able to do something about it. As we saw in a Shopping Mall, just having a Security Licences doesn't save you from being stabbed to death.

Some want to virtue signal themselves from protecting themselves, for brownie points on the Media. Well best of luck for them.
But for many, like Grey Nomads caravanning around the country, or Homeless living in tents - such things as Mace Sprays or Tasers are common at hand deterrent and defence measures people already have been forced to take.

Nothing worse than being 'dead right' for fear of breaking the law. Especially a Law that is heavily self protected itself, for fear of armed attacks.

I mostly carry my knife with me and when that black Sambo gave me an aggressive shove at Chelsea, down Melbourne way a number of years ago. I didn't pull out my knife. I just bread basketed him (winded him). If he had pulled out a knife, do you think a pocket bible would help? He may have been a Muslim, which may have aggravated him more towards feeling justified to stab me.
I'm getting on in years for dealing with such with just bare hands and techniques like in the past. I've been in many parts of the world where you would be absolutely stupid not to be armed, or be with others who are armed.
This country is not getting safer Bobby. Billion dollar 💰 submarines won't protect you on the streets of Melbourne.

What would you have done Bobby? If you were there in that Shopping Mall seeing that guy with the knife stabbing people like that mother and her child?
Pull out your Bible? Thoughts and prayers?
What if he came at you?

A gun proved to be the best solution as it turned out.

These portraits radiate natural intelligence and the love of humanity. That lower lip is especially expressive of his idepth and rich intellectual and emotional interior.
