I wish I could credit where I originally read this #Protip but regardless I will pass it along.
I take self-defense seriously but I also did not want to be packing a firearm or a knife at the #NoKings #Protest.
I made sure to take my zebra F701 stainless steel ballpoint pen. I had it clipped to my pocket so it could be pulled immediately if need be.
Not only are these damn good pins but their stainless steel design means they are needlessly durable and can puncture quite nicely.
