I don't know that this is the right forum to post this in but since I'm trying to hear other Ladies' points of view it seemed like the best option.
I've been acquiring and sampling pistols for personal protection for several years now and have learned that it is an imperfect science. I will likely be forever tweaking my EDC and caliber and training methodology and comfort and style of carry... And that is perfectly ok with me, life changes and it's best to always be a student and in a "learning" frame of mind.
Recently I began being interested in knives. It started with researching a good option for my B.O.B and became keenly aware of the HUGE differences from one blade to another. Early on I picked up a basic Ka-Bar from Bradis II for my B.O.B. but wanted a folder to carry so I started looking...everywhere...a lot... I finally settled on a CRKT Mini My Tighe that I found at BGF because it was nearly the only folder I found that would fit clipped on a pocket of my girly jeans. Now I seem to always be searching for good blades. I picked up an ESEE Izula for purse carry from KnifeLady. I'm now back on the quest to upgrade what I've got in my B.O.B. but there's a lot more research I need to do on that before I narrow it down.
My question to the other Ladies on this forum is this: Did you find yourself interested in other methods of self defense in addition to Firearms? What were they and why?
