Knife Advice

[piercehawkeye45]

I did not get a knife, just brought up a baseball bat.

I moved out of that apartment when it got absolutely trashed by a roommate. My apartment was also broken into later after I moved out as well so I guess my worries were legitimate.

Looking back, I don't know what the best response would have been for a break in, probably just getting out. I know for a fact that many people in that neighborhood do pack heat so attacking with a bat or a knife wouldn't help me there. My other roommate and I both do not want a gun, we did get an opportunity to get one BTW, because neither of us are trained and we would still be a great risk from using it and even having it. In this position, it would probably have been best to throw away any pride I have in defending my home because getting hurt or killed would not be worth it IMO.

It was an experience living there and I felt I have learned and grown a lot.
