"Why do you carry a weapon?!"

Luckily, I don't get these types of questions, but if I ever do, I go with the most ridiculous response possible. For example, tell him that when you murder, you like to do it with your hands...makes it feel more personal. Good for cutting out those organs you're going to eat, too.

Stupid f'ing questions deserve stupid f'ing answers. Period.
 
Asking a Man why they carry a knife, is like asking a Women why they carry tampons in their purse. Its called Being Ignorant!!

LOL, we have a douchebag like that who lives in our upper middle class neighborhood.

Everybody calls him "BARNEY FIFE" ROTFL!!

Mr. Joe Harris is faaaar from a douchebag! He is a 65 year old retired sheriff, a former Marine, Vietnam veteran, and he could still hand your ass to you. I would pay good money to see you call him a douchebag to his face!
 
As the VERY few times I was asked was while I was using the knife (opening a box, other normal knife stuff), I was able to point at what I was using it for and say "This."

Best answer ever, and generally works even with people who have zero interest in knives.
 
Because I frequently have to fight off deranged bananas at lunch.

Open carry a pistol (if your state allows it) and no one will notice the knife. :p

This ^ (;

I say "What weapon?" "oh this little thing? *pulls out Spyderco military* This is for my apple at lunch every day and loose threads on my clothes, it also makes a good letter opener. It's no a weapon. Now a sword, that's a weapon. *pulls out a cold steel katana* "

Haha I usually tell people it's a TOOL not a weapon. A weapon is used for harming other living beings. This is for utility and convenience just like any other wrench or a hammer. I happen to need it where I go so I carry it. Lots of people do it. You should try it, you'd be surprised how often you'll use it. Just not on people man, that's not cool.

I had a lady friend ask me why I had 5 knives on me when I stayed with her for the weekend and I told her that and she said "huh, doesn't sound like a bad idea, but why 5!?"
That last question I couldn't answer, i told her she wouldn't understand until she gets into the hobby of collecting them. It's just what some of use do.

"Why do you carry a weapon?!"

To kill without getting blood under my fingernails.

Seriously, guys, these people are everywhere. A densely populated society will always have a very visible number of dangerously anti-social members, and they will scare others to the point of falling into the trap of trading freedom for security.

Of course that never quite works the way they hope.

We can help them. Without sarcasm, without compromising our own rights, we can explain and maybe eventually convince them that knives serve both utility and defense, and that both are the mark of a self-reliant and valuable member of society.

And if they don't believe it, at least we know we can defend ourselves from them! :D
 
I carry tools that could be used as a weapon in the right circumstances. A shovel makes a pretty good club if I have one in my hand, but I'm not likely to have one in my "pocket". I am not hung up on carrying a firearm like many (you know... because I can and all that stuff...). I selectively carry firearms on my person based on my day's activities just like I might choose a particular knife because of the day's activities. I almost always have a loaded firearm in my vehicle unless I am at the airport or similar kinds of places. There are risks to this type of weapon carry choice.
 
"Because im not a helpless, unarmed potential victim", that gets some hilarious reactions. It seems as though many people who ask are sheeple and not very self reliant when it comes to defending their life or having common sense/street smarts but they are just missing out on the fun (expensive) and exciting life of gun/knife nuts:D The least the anti's could do though is not be against something they dont understand.
 
That's not skeletonized, it's Dragonized, baby!

Get 'em coming and going. Then roast 'em with the flaming breath.

You're doing it wrong. Peel the banana from the other end. All you do is squeeze the other end softly between thumb and forefinger, and the banana's peel will split into two pieces. Watch apes or monkeys. That's how they do it.
