This is definitely a "poors" thread, so move on if you just want to hurl insults.
I'm going to school full time and can't afford the good stuff.
Is there anything that is usable on the lower end of the cost spectrum.
To be honest this would likely be for personal security at night if things really go badly.
If the answer is "it's all crap and you'll die before it helps", I can deal with that.
Thanks!
