Weed Eater as good emergency self protection device? Serious question.

Just use a lawn mower!

I think a hedge trimmer would be more handy. Proven fact: it's impossible to wield an offensive weapon without fingers and a thumb.

Charlie Manson used a Lawn Mower. Fact weed eaters work on snakes

Why would you choose a weed eater over a gun? It’s still legal to own a gun, but I’m all for banning weed eaters.

In a fist fight you bring a weed eater I may get hit once by it same as you having Nunchaku.
You will hit me once but me rushing and tackling you and then ground and pound on you while you are holding that weed eater will not be to your benefit.
You can't swing a weed eater fast enough.

Choose a different weapon and realize many weapons you choose can be taken from you if you are not proficient with it.

No one would call the law if you open carry into Home Depot.

Nope when you tackle the guy he's going to mash that exhaust pipe against your face. just a thought!

I would consider it but I have depression and I’d be afraid of wacking myself to death. Not because I’d die, it because my family would have to read about it in the news.
