Anybody use brass knuckles as a self defense tool?

Odds are you are just shit posting but I'm just hanging out while my wife grabs my daughter from daycare.



Do whatever you are comfortable with but realistically unless you are very comfortable in hand to hand combat you would be much better off with like mace than brass knuckles. I have to be close enough foe you to hit me wearing knuckles and that means all your outs are basically gone.

Brass knuckles are for punks. I carry these bad boys with me 24/7

I was mostly thinking of thinking of a situation where I'm thrust into hand to hand combat unexpectedly. (Somebody tries to jump me or the like) Seems like a nice boost.
 
Brass knuckles that lethal? Know youve got a better chance of breaking bones and doing real damage. Figure it wouldn't be a boxing match where I get to really wind up.
I'm saying I'd you don't want to carry a firearm, "lethal" your best option would be bear spray.

Gst yourself a pair of pork butt shredders

Was thinking of taking it might be a handy thing to have in the vehicle. Particularly when out solo late at night.
Better check the legality of them. Even if you are in a place where they are legal....probably a worse chance of claiming they were used for "self defense" (both in criminal or civil court).

I keep both a tactical pen and a mid sized mag light in each vehicle. In a defense situation I'd take the mag light over brass knuckles ANY day plus much less chance of a hassle. If you needed something smaller to conceal when leaving your vehicle go with a tactical pen or tactical flashlight.

(FYI...same goes with knives.....the less they look like something dubious...the better.) My Frank B. Italian stiletto switchblade stays at home as a memory of the past. If I ever have to do the dirty dance I'm not wanting to use something that makes me look like I'm looking for trouble.
 
Think Brass Knuckles are illegal. When I was a kid everyone packed rolls of quarters for fights. You could always tell when there was recently a fight because of all the quarters laying around.
I used to travel for work. When flying my carry on included a change of clothes (so I have socks), and a roll of dimes and quarters. That effective makeshift weapon could pass TSA.

Unless you know what you're doing in the first place, brass knuckles won't turn you into Billy Badass..........buy a gun.....
 
wha? You can buy them on amazon
I have seen them advertised as "Replica. Intended only for use as a paperweight. "

Buying them and having them in your home can be a whole different story than carrying them on your person or vehicle.

Ya…hand speed is highly overrated….
 
As a Cardinal fan I just wear a different World Series ring on each finger and a few leftover. A Cub or White Sox fan doesn't stand a chance...

That's not my small, effeminate hand BTW...

As a Cub fan, Knowing you are a Cardinal fan I would just tell you that your shoe is untied and then clock you as you looked down at your bare feet.
