| | | The only thing I, or anyone I will willingly explore with, should carry is a small pocketknife and a can of wasp spray. Wasp spray is awesome, it temporarily blinds a human, but won't cause permanent blindness, it's freaking painful, enough to stop someone, but it's not crippling like pepper spray. Plus, pepper spray shoots 10' and comes out finer that wasp spray, meaning if it's windy, it can blow back on you. Also, pepper spray tends to linger in a room irritating you, too. Wasp spray, however, shoots 15'-20', and won't blow back on you. Plus, it's nice to have for wasps and costs $3. Small knives are all around a good thing to have, it's a great way to defend yourself if you don't have wasp spray, and they're useful for all sorts of crap like opening stuff, eh, you know, knife stuff.
Anyone who carries a gun into an abandonment is an idiot, in my opinion, because at least here in the states, whether or not you have a CHL, if you get caught and are about to give you a ticket, a gun will automatically bump it up to criminal trespass instead of simple trespass, a misdemeanor instead of a violation. Also, our best defense as explorers against the law is to just be as honest as possible and say you're a photographer interested in the building and not a crackhead/drugdealer... Lost, stupid photographers with poor taste in locations don't carry guns, but drug dealers and meth cooks do, eh? Plus, the idea of getting disarmed of my wasp spray and having turned against me sucks but I'll live. If someone takes my Beretta? See you in the afterlife.
