Jesus, no! Terrible advice. For one, if the cops pull you over cos your face doesn't fit in an area notorious for drug dealing you're gonna come away with a charge that is likely to be as serious if not worse than being found in posession, but more importantly a lot of the people you're gonna come across down the ghetto will be better schooled in violence and better at using weapons than you. Escalate a confrontation by waving a knife in someone's face and chances are you're gonna come off badly cos you know what, other people carry weapons too, especially people who sell drugs for a living, or loiter about intending to rob other drug users, and their's might be a lot more badass than yours.
Being ripped-off or robbed for your drugs and / or money is an occupational hazard. Chances are it's gonna happen at least once in your life as a drug user. You just have to accept that and make sure that you don't escalate things in a way that risks more than you can afford to lose.
My mother always carried my fathers huge knife on her and if the blade is a certain width or whatever its not illegal to carry. When she got arrested and the cops asked if she had weapons in her bag she said the knife and they took it out... It was a huge fuckin knife but she didn't get charged for having it. You need to check your states laws and shit. You can carry a knife on you.
When I went to philly I had a knife on me but put away. I also didn't carry shit on me like my phone or whatever so if I got robbed it wouldn't of been a big deal. I mean ill let someone rob me but if I have to I'm going to pull the knife out on them. I'm prepared to use a weapon on someone... My dad taught me how to do it (pull it out and where to get them with it). He use to deal crack and was always with guys coming in and out of prison. My brother would always teach me how to fight as well (he has a black belt and yeah he kicked my ass when we were messing around but I learned how to defend myself).
People will shoot you whether or not you have a weapon in the hood nowadays.. So bring a LEGAL knife or something isn't a bad idea. Don't pull it out unless you have to but in the end you may have to.
Its a crazy idea but you gotta do what you gotta do. And yeah you're going to get your ass schooled if you don't know shit. But me I'm a female but I grew up in a bad area and with some crazy family members.... I was trained as a little kid how to fuck someone up with and without a weapon. I mean if you don't know how to do any of that shit you shouldn't even be copping in the hood.
Damn, on the news you hear too much about people getting shot for nothing. So if you're walking into danger without being prepared then you're asking to be killed.
Yeah this is kind of crazy advise but to tell someone to walk into the hood and act like everything will be okay then I wouldn't be being honest. I didn't say take out your knife if you get robbed but if you risk getting killed take it the fuck out. Hide it on a spot where you can pull it out quick.
Another thing I would carry around when copping in the hood is a
skateboard. Carry that shit for real.... You can crack someones head with it. Most people won't look at you twice for it (maybe cops but its a skateboard). Its legal and honestly will help you the fuck out. I mean I skate and would ride around on it so I didn't look suspicious but damn my decks came in handy.
Really you shouldn't have to rely on a weapon but it just helps me to know I have something on me if things go wrong. They may have a better weapon but it doesn't mean anything. Just again never go up to a
group of people and again
never go alone.... Let them rob you (bring only the money you need to cop and nothing else). Never pull up to someone in your car. Park the whip somewhere and get out on foot. Leave all your possessions in your car.. Also park it somewhere where there are a lot of people and its busy. If you follow those simple rules you should have no problem and please leave your fear at home.... If you're too scared/worried to do this then don't do it.
Sadly I know people who were/are gang members. And the shit you hear them talk about makes you go
![:\](https://bluelight.org/xf/BL_Images/Orig_Emoji/wrygrin.gif "wry grin :\")
they don't give a fuck about anyone. They sure as fuck aint going to care about the random druggie who they've never seen before.
Also if they have a dog don't even go there. I'm friends with this hispanic guy and his dog is an attack dog and knows commands in spanish. He will go pistolvia or whatever meaning if someone reaches in their pocket for a weapon the dog will jump on them before they manage to get it out) and all this shit. Attack dogs man are fuckin more scary than the dude packing heat.
Anyways listen to your gut... Follow simple rules and the rest is common sense. Don't trust anyone and always stay alert.... The guy may look like they're alone but their buddy is watching you from somewhere you can't see. Don't bring a weapon if you're not comfortable with it or don't know what you're doing. You can let someone rob you but remember not everyone will rob you and leave. Some people will rob you and shoot you. So if you meet one of those people...that is the time to take out your weapon or fight for your life.
I wasn't scared copping in the hood. I mean when I brought the knife I ended up leaving it in the car most of the time... I just don't think pulling up to a dealer you don't know in your car is a smart idea. I mean if you were getting weed then cool but heroin or crack nahh that shits too crazy. That's also more suspicious to cops than if you're just on foot. The last thing you want to do is pull up to a person and have them come up to you and pull a gun out on you so they can drive off with your car.
