Because we live in a democracy. It ain't perfect but it's far better than the other options.

You don't know what anyone is going to do in the future, and you are trying to react and/or stop a crime that hasn't been committed. It's called pre-judgment and it pushes us one step closer to losing democratic freedom of choice and your constitutional rights, even when no crime has been committed.

Example: You see a guy drinking out on his porch every night. I guess you think he should lose his driver's license because he MIGHT drink and drive and kill someone. Better impound his car too, while you're at it, right?

The reason for our 2A is unbeknownst to so many Americans.

Where dealing with lethal weapons, things which have no use other than being lethal.

Since we're in a democracy, and my opinion is supposed to count, I'm all for citizens to be allowed to own firearms. But with conditions, meaning they would have to receive continuous training, including evaluation, in the proper safe use of them, and a thorough background check to make sure we're dealing with a stable individual.

TOTALLY disagree. Have you heard of the shooting sports? Google it.

Also, there is no such thing as a "lethal" weapon. No knife or firearm that I have ever seen has got up and started attacking people without a human operator holding them. There are lethal people, but not lethal weapons. And you can't predict or LEGISLATE who is a "lethal person" until that crime has been committed.

Once you start categorizing people (commonly referred to today as "profiling") and trying to impose your legislation of "might do something", you are right back to the dawn of racism, fascism, prejudice and one HUGE step closer to communism and a military/police state.

Thanks!

I'm just 26yo guy with an office job who's also still a student.

I'm mostly dressed in black or dark blue jeans, one color t-shirt (black, brown, blue, gray or variants of green), with backpack on my back and tired look on my face.

No tattoos, no piercings, absolutely nothing about me is special.

Just an ordinary average guy with average ordinary stuff. You need some ink young feller.
 
Uh-oh …

So which is it? Are you using your shotgun to kill people or to trap shoot? This statement totally contradicts your previous statement of being a trap shooter.

But I kinda need some ideas on how to modify the sheath to carry it more easily? Or to make it fit pants/tracksuit pocket better?

There are some great pants out there to carry a good fixed blade. This one has a 6" blade and I had in on me on a 17 hour car drive a couple of months back.

Now, if you meet the wrong dog, defending yourself with a knife is near impossible. Better than nothing, I guess. Maybe get a bigger dog yourself and train it ? If you can't carry a gun, of course.

Is that clip strong enough to hold the sheath in place while you draw the knife?

those util clips ain't coming loose by accident.

I played with one a while back and ended up pulling the knife and sheath out as one unit. The clip wouldn’t hold the sheath to my pocket. It was a tight fitting sheath too though.

weird. I got a couple and there was no way I could pull them loose. worse opening to remove was harder than it should have been.

guess either I got some over done ones or ya got a loose one....

Sorry, but I've never viewed any of my cutting tools as self defense weapons. I mean, what do you do if you encounter an active shooter? Pull out your knife? That would probably be a big mistake.

Ufortunately,a lot of people dom't have that option.
I do in most places.
When I can't, it's a stout cane.
I train with this also but not at the range.(:
