I don't think a crossbow is a good weapon at all for self defense .

I cannot imagine anybody would want a cocked crossbow anywhere around them at any time so I would assume no but you could always check your local ordinances

lmfao now that's something else

it's not illegal just keep it secured but readily quick draw/unzippering

I used to carry dual Wakizashi when walking to my night job last year. Fun times.

Ain't no better way to feel like a badass than to slice your opponets soul upclose and personal with a blade, watching blood splatter on their scared face


So I take it you carry shit you don't want robbed from ya too, eh?

I don't want to kill anyone but I believe it's best to be prepared just in case... I live in an area with lots of gangs and I don't want to feel totally fearful of my life without any back up plan... It's the worst feeling to be totally fearfully of ur life. My house was broken into twice by armed robbers and I had guns pointed me for my bike and knifes for my ipods.. Sucks dude

Seriously? I assume you're talking about a 50 pound draw pistol grip bow? Yeah, why? Y'know, it's terrible to reload, and if someone sees you with a weapon while they're robbing you, they're GOING to use their weapon on you, and I bet theirs is more practical.

Actually Mr it's an 80lb mini xbox that's can penetrate through a phone book and I think 2 inches into ply wood. Very deadly little bow without a doubt

Bummer about the not so decent area while nothing Chicago like I can relate where I live.... and wouldnt be surprised if niggas upstairs rob my family(9 Month old, 4 year old, etc.) downstairs.

Perhaps consider a taser and a friendly big dog for the place

It doesn't really matter where you live, I heard gangs like to go to rich areas and rob houses there too... That's why I think getting some type self defense is pretty important to anyone. And yeah I have pit bulls and cameras around my pad so that something to feel safe about..I would get a gun but I want a medical marijuana license...

It's gonna be in my backpack.... Lol I'm not gonna walk around with shit openly
So when someone steps in front of you with a knife, are you going to kindly ask him to let you open your backpack and get you crossbow out, cock it, load it, and take aim?

I dunno, there are better, easier, more practical weapons for self defense.

I understand what ur saying but if it's legal to carry I would still definitely just cause its powerful and small. Even if it's not that convenient in that senario it sure can be in otheres. I have good instincts and I know when someone is about to approach me in a not so friendly manner. Also what if there's a mass shooter I think in that case someome like me could become very handy instantly...
