What is the best self defense product?

Baseball.... the all-American sport, and the equipment sends 'em packing. A Louisville Slugger is totally legal to carry around.

A couple of years ago, a couple of punks followed me and my daughter into her school's parking lot, and one of them popped out with a little club, like I used to use to whack fish after catching them. He was talking stink to me and swinging his little stick, so I just stepped out of my truck with my Wonderbar (pic) and walked straight at him saying nothing. Kid was backtracking pretty fast.

In the good old days in Wisconsin, we all carried scatter guns and bows on racks in our trucks, clearly visible in the rear window, and nobody messed with nobody. Mutually assured destruction.

is that dent in it from someone's head? :p
 
How about one of these guys. Kinda like a folding sword!! I've got 2. Just need to find a pair of cargo pants with a big enough pocket to carry them in. The guy who designed these must have some kind of complex ;) ....or be 8 feet tall.

They're not really that big....close though.

I actually carry a 2x4 with a couple of rusty nails in it in a custom made quick release holster. Light it on fire for better effect at night.


The Benchmade 630 is very much reduced from the original design. The designer is a bit crazy :D
