And I don’t mean things you previously had no strong opinion about.

What is a belief you used to hold that you no longer do, and what/who made you change your mind about it?

    Pepper spray, sure.

    But not other weapons. If you need those to feel safe walking around, you live in a shithole.

      Well, when I couldn’t get pepper spray I got a knife instead. And let be tell you, a knife is a whole different ballgame in terms of self defense. It requires a whole psychological setup to be effective, because it only works as a deterrent.
