April 27, 2025 at 10:53 amI am a student (19F) and I have been commuting daily alone by rickshaw. Sometimes I reach home after dark so I want to be realistically prepared for any scenario.—
What are self defense items (under the legal limit) that I can carry with me? I also have some questions regarding them:
* What are the items I can carry legally with me? (Ex. Pepper spray, small knives, those keychain weapons I keep seeing on social media)
* What are the laws about carrying knives plus what type of pocket knives can we carry (the length) ?
* What situations can I actually use them as self defense and what situations, even if I use them as self defense, will I be in trouble?
* Does anyone here (particularly women but men are obviously welcome to answer too) actually carry any of these items with them on daily basis?
* Any advice on how to be more cautious, alert, prepared?—
Side note: This is my first time living in India, I donβt really know how things work here so better be safe than sorry right?

Would really appreciate detailed advice or experiences!

April 27, 2025 at 11:33 amWeapon is as good as you are trained to deploy it soo to begin with are you physically trained and mentally trained for a confrontation because more than often people freeze in dire situations.Pepper spray should be good enough, blades of any sort require a bit of training, Pepper spray should be good enough but please do practice it ssoo that you are instinctively able to deploy it.
If you are considering edged weapon there are a lot of disadvantages with range and everything, also can’t disclose the legal length of blades.
