Um.... not so much for the at school thing. But no worries about the illegal gun whatnot. NEVER bring a gun to a knife fight, Tueller drills anyone?:D Just remember whatever you decide to go with, 1. keep it out of school 2. learn to use it and 3. if you pull it use it. I would highly suggest you go with some of the more 'non-lethal' tool that have been suggested though. no sense in going to the slammer (potentially for quite some time) for a simple street fight when there are less........ permanent options.
