I'm going to be on Skid Row doing social work with a church for a week. Anyone got any tips on how I can keep myself safe or any legal weapons I can have on hand?
A gun

If not gun for whatever reason, a fixed or easily-deployed-folding blade in a good sheath, maybe one for each hand (not for using two at a time, but in case one of your hands is occupied and you need to use the other).

I walked through skid row at midnight. It's not that bad but if I could have legally brought my CCW from my home state I would have.
I would avoid knives. You don't want any blood borne pathogens from the people down there. Would try and get a less than lethal stand off weapon whatever is legal in California.
Mace. You can't get a ccw here.
Ive worked at the bad part of skid row before, at night. Project confidence and the hobos will leave you alone
Post script since everyone will ask. The good part of skid row are the sections where the hobos have tents. Its a bit more upscale than the bad part, where they are too fucked up to even be able own tents, and sleep in newspapers/cardboard.

A shitty old boombox and a bunch of Skid Row CDs
It'll help you blend in

i'm guessing a folding baton would be better than a knife
knives cause bleeding wounds = bad, plus you have to get too close
just whack them with that metal stick POW

The Lord's watching over you, you don't need a weapon.

check your local laws the ignore them.

You're saying you're not willing to die for the church's causes?
>"Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?"
>1 Peter 3:13
Sure, you've got a right to protect the life God gave you. But why bother getting into a fight in the first place? Why ask what weapon you need, rather than ask how you can avoid violence?

Don't carry batons. It's a specific felony in CA.
Don't carry any knife that is sharpened on both sides of the blade. Felony.
Do not carry any knife longer than 4" concealed on your person (ironically, you may carry a fix blade knife of any length open carried, non-concealed).
Unfortuneately, CA is the state where you have to trust other people to come to your defense, even though that goes against the sacred principal of our Constitutional Republic which says that certain rights are not endowed by government, or law, but by virtue of life.
Bunch of hippie faggots.

OP Here
Last minute,the higher ups cancelled me going on the trip for some reason. Idk why, will ask tomorrow about their reasoning.
Thanks none the less for the suggestions
I'm 50/50 relieved/pissed that they cancelled me going cause they wasted a plane ticket but kind of happy I'm not going to Cali.

Unless they're degenerates.
Living in peace with degenerates is an affront to god, the shitskins have gotten at least one thing right, throwing fags from towers is the only appropriate solution for faggotry.

>grunt style and an excess amount of tattoos
disgusting
Feign a limp and get yourself a stout cane with a knob or metal ball.
Or, perhaps your faith isn't strong enough for you to perform missionary work. If you feel the need to shoot, stab, or pummel the poor sinners that you're supposed to bring to Jesus, maybe you should just fly to Vegas and get some hookers and blow.
