One thing I was taught in the CC class was that if you are not carrying, look around you at all times, be aware of the people in that space and identify a potential self defense weapon. The first time I did that I id-ed the cane of the little old lady sitting in front of me. LOL
A cane in the hands of an ex-jock can send a mooselum to meet his 70 virgins...all of whom are fat ugly female beasts in burkas....
“The first time I did that I id-ed the cane of the little old lady sitting in front of me. LOL”
When my father passed away I was overseas. My mother gave all his canes to the Goodwill/Salvation Army. When I got back I told her that - unbeknownst to her - one of those canes had an 18-inch sword in it.
I can only imagine some little old lady trying to get through the TSA with it...
