Yeah, but with that new Flashlight Fighting book out, the cat is out of the bag.

After Phil Elmore released his windfall flashlight fightin manual which drew on thousands of years of flashlight fighting, rapist ghosts were massacarred thoughout the english speaking world. As a result, sure-fire flashlights in the DD catagory were banned in six states to include California, Massachchets, Illinios and New York. Hawaii is considering simmilliar legislation.

Meh. A little "tactical" flashlight is a decent hand packer. A four or five-cell maglite is a serious piece of ordnance.

Repeating what other ppl have said, but a collapsable baton is usually classified as a (concealed) weapon. Most folding knives are fine, they're not really gonna bug you about it unless you make it an issue. so don't make it an issue. And with a knife you always have an excuse for carrying it. Try explaining why you carry a 22+ inch beatin' stick around with?? (although one of my instructors carries it around for fear of dogs, being attacked when he was younger :eusa_thin )

I carry a beatin stick, a 16 inch expandable, no spring. I intend to use it in a beating one day. Worsy case scenario I just ditch it, and I feel like a god wielding it.

The 16 inch is very concealable and not bulky at all but still feels good. I handled a 21 incher and it seemed to big to conceal or anything.

Hey Ryno,

You know anything about these:

There is a Dog Bros. endorsement at the bottom. Looks kind of cool for our rainy city.

Holy Crap! That's the coolest thing I've ever seen!

What the hell is that thing made out of?

Yeah, if it's legit it would be awesome for travel, etc. I hate being totally unarmed in unfamiliar cities when I travel for business.

Tom Kurz and Stadion are pretty respectable IIRC, big into Eastern European sports science, Judo, etc.
