I have dispensed with knives in public places, most times.
Now I simply have my walking stick
6 foot long, hard wood
With a rubber foot on the bottom end.
Completely legal
Devastating when used by someone trained in boe staff fighting.
Which 18 years of martial arts probably qualifies.
Other simple, yet legal means include
Bunch of keys
6 inches of broom handle
Metal pen
Stainless steel drink container
The list is endless
And with a little training, it's surprising what you can do.
So, whenever you are out of your car and out of the Home, you have a six foot stick in your hands?
Not everyone has "BIG HANDS" like you Aussie to pin the evil-doers against the nearest tree with ...
Can you imagine how probable it is that a grown adult would be walking around in public places with a six foot long wooden staff in his hands? It is hardly likely to be regarded as a walking stick/aid to assist in walking.
I will admit it would look strange for a grown man to be walking around carrying a staff ..
It's a great deal more comfortable than a walking stick when your back is damaged.
You can literally hang off it, use it to get up and assist you in getting down as well.
I first started using it when I broke my back 15vyears ago.
Found it a godsend.
Even the doctors thought it was a great idea.
I have never once been questioned about it or even asked about it.
But you lot prefer to judge before thinking.
Sad bunch you are.
And the best bit is, it makes a very effective weapon
You can simply stop, warn, injure or disable with it depending on the situation
And very very few people would know how to counter a boe staff.
And for your information.
It's not just a stick
It has been carved with a wood spirit at the top, has patterns for it's full length and is fully laquered.
It is quite attractive and has a nice comfortable grip.
When I went to the UK, I had to put it in baggage
And they even wrapped it in bubble wrap for me.
But apart from that, not one question.
