    Keeping yourself safe

    Was reading the competition thread about the encounter with another scrapper that almost got violent and had a few thoughts.
    1. People are getting desperate these days., if you have a valid carry permit always carry!
    2. If you have a knife make sure it is legal to carry, most states switch blades and gravity knives are illegal. If you ever had to use it and it is illegal to possess you are in as much trouble as the guy who tried to harm you. Know what is legal to possess in your area.
    3. I answer and pick up a lot of things from Craigslist. Before leaving the house I ALWAYS tell the wife the address of where I am going and how long it should take for a round trip. I also always have two friends with me, mr Smith and mr Wesson. Too many crazys out there on line and realistically you don't know who you are dealing with.



    Hope everyone stays safe and remember no amount of scrap is worth your life!!!!
