I called my school's sheriff this morning to ask if I could carry pepper spray and/or a (utility folding) knife on campus. He explained that in the event of me using either, or them being seen, I would get into some trouble.
I take the bus every day and will soon have to take it to my campus when the winter semester begins.
I am a young, [18] skinny male of short stature (5'-4") and not very physically capable in any sort of potential confrontation, so pepper spray is a must, especially in my area, where at least two passengers on any given bus ride are under the influence or are long-term users. (one guy once offered me a drink from his Starbucks cup, which was full of piss) Needless to say, it's scary.
I cannot give up taking my pepper spray on bus rides or outside in my neighborhood, which is what will happen if I do not take them onto the campus. Walking takes hours and I have no other mode of transportation.
What's the best solution here?
