Far be it from me to comment on the employment of firearms or sharp objects for self-defense by any member of this site, but personally I have succeeded rather well over the years using this:

There is always that one time where your dome is not enough. I am just prepared for that time when I may need to use both.

I assume that by "your" you mean yours, Postman. Because you wouldn't want to presume how powerful mine is, or that of anyone else, right?

I'm being realistic about it. You can minimize the occurance of a theat by being sensible and staying away from a risky situation/area(i.e. using your noggin), but no matter how much you minimize an occurance, the threat is still present.

Think of it as a spare tire, jack and tire iron for your well being...

I think you have perceived only part of the point I was making. Yes, I use my brain to minimize threats, make sensible decisions, and stay away from risky situations. You correctly call that "using your noggin." But I also use it as a weapon. I have used the power of persuasion to win what would have otherwise been a fight involving violence on more than one occasion. (I have little doubt that I would have lost had the threatened violence ensued.)

I call the latter "using your wits."
