I'd carry pepper spray or bear mace. If you are afraid of getting jumped my multiple thugs a spray to their face will give you enough time to gtf out of there. Gun charges are no joke either.
Deem feels. I sure as fuk was never good enough at anything to be a D1 athlete (miring hard as fuk) my bicep and acl tears and operations have left me with less than 100 percent that's for damn sure....
Fuk. How old are you? He's in his 50s and sustained it just a few years ago. He gets dizzy real bad and is trying to get that chit under control, seems his eyes are actually shaking from the exam...
You're also 25. I didn't start having major injuries until I was 28. If you keep up at high level athletics you most likely will sustain some bad injuries eventually. Just the way it goes over years...
