[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've started carrying a knife with me the 2x a week I have to go down to Metro Center for work. First time I've felt the need to do that in the 20 years I've lived in DC and used Metro.[/quote]

Someone starts a fist fight with you or gets in your face screaming and you stab them you’re likely going to jail for a while. I don’t think DC is a jurisdiction that would be particularly sympathetic to some white metro riders claim of self defense using a knife.[/quote]

Yeah, I'd like to see the jury that would convict someone of that. A large group of teens swarming someone = reasonable fear of one's life. I'll defend my life first and ask questions later.[/quote]

It’s over with DC juries. You will be under the jail.

I ride the metro daily. Have had teens try to start something twice in the last year and both times just take the L and leave for another car while the pick on some other sap.[/quote]
And please tell me why you should have to do this?[/quote]

A person shouldn’t. But self defense can be complex both legally and tactically, making it prudent to avoid the situation when it is possible to do do.

I wouldn’t get on Metro if they paid me. [/quote]
Well I agree with your 2nd statement at least inside DC or at night.[/quote]
