1st up mate I haven't been giving it the big un on here at all
Secondly I'm not gonna be spineless and let some scumbag take anything that belongs to me.
Id rather have my head kicked protecting what ever i own in life than being spineless .
It is what it is bud

They have a point though mate. What exactly would you do with a machete that wont put you in prison for 20 years?
I actually agree with you that I'd not let someone take my gear, but a machete??

A machete is a bit much, but would you REALLY go to prison for protecting yourself against a thief with an every day item that we use whilst angling?
I think since the mobile chavvy got stabbed with a screwdriver in Hither Green a few years ago, the justice system is starting to take note of the fight or flight mechanism we all have. It's human nature. You either stand there shaking like a leaf, you run, or you start swinging. That is biology.
I would never apologise for protecting myself, my family or my property. In reality? My kids faces would be in the back of my mind, and I'd want to make it back home to see them.

A machete can easily chop someone's arm off, add in someone who doesn't know what they are doing and it's a recipe for a manslaughter charge, defending yourself at home with deadly force is a big enough grey area let alone when out in public

Truth is none of us know how we would react until it actually happened and hopefully none of us ever have to experience it. It's all well and good saying that you would have a swing or just let them take it but adrenaline and fear can make you behave completely differently to how you think you will....

Good on him I say, slice their fcuking sacks off, or p155flaps.
This turned intoa rather bizzare thread, my 2 pence on the act of taking machete's fishing;
I don't think you'd stand much of a chance of blagging a machete as a bit of fishing kit - don't know of anyone trekking through a rainforest to their swim? So would have thought brandishing one would be an instant offensive weapon in public charge before you start swinging it in anger.
Also a pretty pants weapon in close quarters fight in the dark, yhe only thing it would have going for it is the fear factor. If there were more than one attackers you'd be more likely to be the one being hacked with it.

I'd love to say I'd charge out protect my gear for all it's worth, be interesting to see if the 7 years of wing chun and MMA I used to do is still in there.
Unfortunately in reality I've got 2 little girls who adore me and would be destroyed if I wasn't there. So reality is I would turn the other way pretend to be asleep and hope they don't set a bite alarm off. Then hope that the extra money I pay on my contents insurance for fishing gear out the house is worth it. There's more valuable things in life than fishing gear.
