This should be rather interesting.

After an incident with some punks, er, troubled youth last week,  I became
curious as to what types of items people carry for personal defense.  I
have decided that it may be time to change my strategy.

My question:  what do YOU carry for personal defense?

I'll start by revealing that I carry a can of tear-gas and a knife
(swiss-army, not a dagger) for protection.  I would prefer a handgun,
but you know that graduate students aren't usually rich (I'm saving
up for my personal computer).

So, what do you have for personal defense (on the street)?

Thanks,
