The dude was right about self defense tho - ANY weapon you attack someone else with can be taken and used against you. This is why nun chucks are the perfect weapon, nobody would want to steal something that makes them look THAT stupid during use.

That first story gave me flashbacks to that Simpsons episode... Abe Simpson : I thought I recognized you!
