Carry options for my 18 year old heading to UNL
SemperFiGuy:
FWIW, Here is the UofN-Lincoln Policy on Weapons:
=================================
http://police.unl.edu/services/WeaponStorage.shtml
Weapon Storage
University policy prohibits the possession of firearms, ammunition or other dangerous weapons on campus or in student housing. Students, Staff and Faculty are welcome to use our bins for weapon storage.
Lockers UNL Police provide a FREE storage area for firearms which will be checked out to the owner who has a prescribed identification. A matching identification is placed inside of the bin to confirm the owner's identity. The owner will be given a key for one of the bins two locks. University Police maintains the other key and will be the contact for the owner when they would like to retrieve their weapon.
The bins were created so that campus persons would not store their weapons in residence hall rooms, academic buildings or vehicles. Maintaining the weapons at the department provides a safe environment.
University Police will be available to check out weapons 24 hours a day. If you would like to view the bins before storing your weapon stop in at the UNL Police Department. We are located in the 17th and "R" Street parking garage (300 N.17th Street).
=======================
This policy includes sharpened #2 yellow pencils.

* If considering carrying a knife....first, know how to use it.
There are knife defense classes available that are well worth the money and the knowledge gained is priceless.
* If considering mace....do some homework before purchasing...some of that stuff is simply not reliable.
* If considering stun-guns....they only work in close encounter situations and can be turned around on the holder if not careful.
* Something else to consider is taking an adult defense course...there are several options out there.
(great graduation gift)

when i was at UNL, the rec center offered a self defense class as a 1 credit hour class. i took it. it was ok.... lots of athletes in it.

There is a federal law allowing one armed people to own and use a switch blade or auto knife. I would think having a state law making them illegal would trump the fed law.
A spring assist knife, from WalMart or Scheels is just as fast as an auto knife, and no laws violated.
I carry a Kershaw 1670tblkst from Walmart. About $60
Amazon also sells them.

Realize no one wins a knife fight. If he has two good legs, recommend he run away from confrontation.

Fox Labs Pepper Spray but be careful when & where used. It puts me down for the count!
