And after seeing several suggestions for a gun even thougg OP stat3d they were Against one, OP may not be a proper person, or may know himself well enough that a gun is not a good idea. (Temper, lack of self control, etc. ) not knocking OP or criticizing, just station legit reasons.

Learn how to fight.

And fight dirty.

 

[fullmetaljesus]

You didn't mention wanting a gun. You did say you don't want to carry. So why come to a gun forum?

The best way to win a fight is to not get in one.

Sounds like you need to look into some good self defense training. There’s a lot to choose from between all the different martial arts, boxing, etc. Also look into some use of force legal training, so you have some clue when it is appropriate to act. Find the strongest mace/pepper spray if you don’t wish to carry a firearm. As for other weapons, it’s amazing how many are around you. I’ve seen a sock full of bolts, a can of peaches in a nylon stocking, and a frozen chicken cause serious injury to the unlucky. Just make sure you’re on the right side of the law.

This might be the case here.
we look at these pretty well. BT may be on to something.

Ok,
you have associated with some bad Peps. You have to be mean as they are or shut up.

You need to be scared!

Note to self:
Do not pick fights with shady people without a way out!

I mean, not to crystal ball an OP who hasn't engaged in the responses so far, but coming to a gun forum indicates at least some receptiveness to the idea IMO.

I would txt the GF that dumped you and ask her what it's gonna take to get out of this.

At the same time, be preparing to move to a better location. You'll always be afraid where you are, so you gotta go.

Start over in a better location, with a better plan to train to not be afraid.

Fox spray is a nasty beast..but unless they are trained in getting sprayed any decent spray will let you get away(if applied before they get you and while you moving). They will then be expecting that and if they know where you work/live a firearm is the only option if you aren't athletic/coordinated enough to fight with a knife.

You did not say how old you are or your physical condition. If you are an old fart (like me), a simple walking sick or wooden cane makes a wonderful self defense weapon without being obvious. Properly used , you can disable an opponent in seconds. And you can take it anywhere (even on a plane or federal building) and still have the ability to defend yourself if needed. But you need to get some training and practice with it to become proficient. Look up Cane Fighting on You Tube and you will see what I mean.

I can't believe nobody has suggested a garotte.

Looks like you should quickly become a ninja.

What's the best method for carrying a frozen chicken? I'm guessing concealed carry is off the table.

Not necessarily.

 

[armalitesheepdog]

You don't want to carry but you come to a site called INDIANA GUN OWNERS.
Might just be me but that seems strange. What exactly are you looking for?

 

[frenchiectfd2203]

The quickest and easiest self defense tactics that I know of are verbal judo, conflict avoidance and learning to listen to that little voice in your head that says "let's get out of here".

Towards those ends, I suggest reading "left of bang" and "the gift of fear".

I saw Barney do this on Andy Griffith!!
