    Ireland is claim and scam central now, so best not get involved in anything that doesn't concern you. Whether it be to stop someone or help someone, it's nothing to do with me

    So there was actually no scumbag wielding a chain?

    Clickbait

    That was another story, I was walking down O'Connell street around 10pm and see a scumbag without a shirt running towards me with a chain. I've seen from before that he was jumped by another 4 scumbags and after he was beat up, he thought that I was one of the scumbags which did and proceeded to try to attack me with a chain until his gf or friend ran up to him and told him that it wasn't me who beat him up so he started charging towards the scumbags who did.
    In reality, how am I to protect myself at night? Leave my job, don't go outside? Are these the solutions for this? Why you cannot carry a concealed firearm after passing through strict testing, I honestly wouldn't mind doing strict firearm testing which would cost a lot of money and time for me, it would be worth it and it would not be like USA where you could buy an AR 15 in wallmart.

    These kinds of posts come from culchies who've never seen another city. They compare Dublin with Ballinrobe, and it terrifies them. I've lived in Dublin my whole life. I've seen more crime in individual weekends in other places than I've seen here in decades. There's crime here, but the statistics are pretty clear - it's unremarkable as cities go.

    These kinds of posts come from Dubs who've never seen another city ...thinks he's Mr Urbane from midtown.Most Irish people I've met in London or NY, and who have lived and thrived there for years ,are culchies.

    Let's bring you back down to reality with some research based on evidence.

    This is a long read but interesting none the less.
    In 80% of the cases I've analysed, the knife is kept hidden until the very last moment. That is until the attack is launched.
    70.6% of knife attacks are launched within 3 feet of the victim
    Your concealed firearm is useless when they get the jump on you. Surely you know about the "21 foot" rule?
