No. Both banks down the street from my house had attempted robberies. And I live across the street from a bank.
And a full armory doesn't cost a quarter here. Good armor costs a lot. My mom's cool on the shield, and even some throwing quills (bad ass Chinese weapon. Think Kunai, but smaller and harder to see when thrown). The sword is what takes convincing. She says I have to many already. I say never enough.
Darn, Monday morning and you already have me looking up weapons. Let's see, already know broad sword and shield...kunai...kunai... Ah, there you go. OK...
Hmmm...Interesting...according to a certain wiki-based encyclopedia, they're more akin to a crowbar than a knife...and here I thought I needed weapons... I own a crowbar...a fine crowbar...and also a mini...no, make that "throwing" crowbar.
I suppose if those fail, I have two large diameter dowels - short enough for speed, but fast enough for strike force - that would make good staffs.
I also bring
these to work (0.5 mm, black of course), which, according to a certain TV program, could be formidable weapons, but were unfortunately used by person of criminal persuasion. I can asure you that mine have always been used for good...they make such great doodles...
Y'know, Yuko, it might be good to have a ranged weapon, too. How about a compound bow or crossbow? Properly aimed, they could be great non-fatal, painful, and near-silent way of telling criminals that your house just isn't worth visiting... Nuff said...
Gee, in comparison, my buys are pretty boring this week: A nice seafood dinner; a new flagpole mount, a lapdesk, a large space bag for an unwieldy comforter (that couldn't fit in folded space); an inexpensive set of lawn lights, a cheaper tarp, and almost-free scissors... Plus I covered my unpaid two-weeks of bowling and dental appointments for Mrs. N. & me...
