As a young girl, I don't feel safe running outside by myself, and I cant get anyone to run with me (most people I know are unfit and/or overweight). Even my dogs too fat to run with me ): He drags behind! Anyway, I have a large combat knife that I can tuck into my hand when I run, but I was wondering about the legal issues of that. Could I be in trouble if I tried to defend myself against some one with it, or against an animal, or for even carrying it in the first place?

Just wondering!
 
Depending on what kind of knife u want to carry. U can't go running around with a Samurai sword BUT it is legal to carry a knife for self defense. There are certain laws like the length of blade etc... mostly local so you'd have to contact local law enforcement for that info. As for self defense, yes u can use it as long as u feel your life is in danger.
