I was thinking the other day about otherwise law-abiding citizens, convicted in the past of a felony and what they could do to protect themselves ...

A Bat'leth is a superior weapon!

"That's a knife!"

I mostly use my Ninja skills. And pepper spray.

In some places, I think you can carry a baseball bat only if you have a baseball or glove (so it is not perceived as a weapon).

A staff or club is an effective weapon that can be in the form of ordinary items that you encounter.

Tae Kwon Do is a good choice.

If a person is too 'dangerous' to not be 'allowed' to carry any form of a weapon, they are too dangerous to be allowed in public.

As for carrying a blade. The walking cane sword combo is fun and fashionable.

“what about older, not so able to physically defend themselves .. people.”

Depends on how old I guess. If I were past a certain age, I’d just stop giving a hoot and carry the gun illegally. I’d take my chances with the jury.

When I was a kid I went to summer camp up in Maine. It was cool for each kid to have his own axe for chopping firewood, so I had one.. which I took on the planes with me going and returning from camp. Never had a problem with that... but I guess that wouldn’t work so well these days.

All about the intent...

In the end, I guess a jury will decide.
