Right, but that was in responce to it being hard to get the permit. It isnt hard, jsut take the class and qualify.
Getting the Tazer cert is the funnest though!!!!

Your damn hands and some reflexes...
I am always armed with marshmellows and ginger ale. Someone tries to mess with me, I offer them marshmellows and ginger ale. By the end, I've made a new friend!
I carry a can of WD-40 and a cigarette lighter.
Or a 2x4 with a nail in it.

I try to keep Quo Fan as close by as possible. He can kill a guy with his pinky.
My hands and my right pinkie toe are registered lethal weapons in a 5 state area.
Srsly, I don't carry anything on road rides. For MTB rides I have a knife in my pack, but I see it more as a tool than a weapon...in other words, I wouldn't pull it out in an altercation.

Hugs are the best weapon
Two words.....Tickle Fingers.
and waste perfectly good bacon grease? I think not.
Seriously?
I think that may be more paranoia than anything...
We have them (bears and lions) here too and I don't ever give them a second thought.
And no, I've never carried a weapon on a bike.
I'd be more concerned about falling on a gun than getting attacked by a bear. I've almost hit a few out on the trail, I never would have had the chance to draw and fire on them anyway.Seriously?

If that's the case, I must register my brain then. Don't want to get pulled over for carrying a concealed weapon.
HA, this from teh guy who comes on RM talking about laying a guy out int he bar!!!
See above about where i keep it.
Yeah, seriously. We do have attacks in the local moutains here. I fix it up underneath my pack, so noone even sees it anyways, its a suggestion from a local ranger. His suggestion was that if we find ourselves in a situation, that a shot into a tree should do just fine, and the noise will run them off, but be ready just in case.

I still think it's paranoia...

On one more note about that, I am not going to pull that out in an altercation either. Chances are if thats what I feel I ned to do, I can ride away fast enough I dont have to worry about it.
Tickle Fingers didn't work so I had to move on to the Face Fists. It is a natural progression.
Unless things have radically changed in the last 5 years you are paranoid, sir.

What are you going to do when a bear pulls one on you after brandishing yours?
Well, I like stats, and thats apretty cool link, But I am riding on the advice of the local rangers. I dont see them on teh bike, but whenI have been out on hikes, i have seen at least a half dozeb times pretty big cats, and three or four the bears. We havent had a Lethal attack in some time, but there are still reports at the local ranger station of attacks happening more frequently than the link listedUnless things have radically changed in the last 5 years you are paranoid, sir.

Those amphibians can be rough. It is not easy being green.
Your local rangers must be deranged.
I never carry any sort of weapon when I ride. I only carry a knife when im on my MTB, but just cause its one of the best tools to have when out in the woods somewhere.
I turn to chemical warfare when in danger. Pissing, pooping work well and projectile vomiting is a good stand off weapon.
If you're covered in your own bodily waste you are less likely to be eaten by a bear, but three times as likely to be hugged by an obnoxious drunk redneck chick who thinks you smell like a " may-unn ".
That is when I bust out my "Elvis sucks" monolog.
i never have anything with me.. i have a bike tool, but idk if that can be used as a weopon. lol. put a blade at the end of ur seatpost, and pull it out if u need protection.
The quickest way to repel a redneck is to hand them a book, works every time.
