Pity. I EDC their Walkabout Stick, with a rubber cane-tip and a couple reflector-tape bands added, and now wonder if it's not "discreet" enough. Funny, the last time I left it on a bus the lady at Dispatch who was holding it for me said she was getting envious looks cast at it all the way from her desk to the door...
Looking at one just now does not look to me like something anyone would give a second look at. Especially with reflective tape looks like you are using it for safety. That looks like its made of the same composite mine is. That is probably great as to a casual glance they just look like any other cane but, damn things will not bend or break. Before I found the one I carry now I bought one shaped a lot like that made out of hardwood. Since I was using it while walking a dog I drilled a hole in it to put a wrist lanyard on it. So when I needed hands free I could still have it hanging from one wrist and not have to set it down. Now with the old style hook I just hang it from my forearm. Never had yet to wack a two legged critter but the damn thing has been GREAT for fending off 4 legged. Many times when some large dog decided they wanted to make a happy meal out of one of my dogs just the threat of the stick held out was enough to keep them at a distance. Couple time I did give one a good wack with it when they ignored it and so far has always made them back the hell off my dog.
IIRC CS uses polypropylene plastic. And it DOES get legit medical use, too--I have about 3 or 4 days a year that I never know when they're going to happen, but hip pain so bad it starts to make tearing my own femur out of its socket and beating myself unconscious with it seem like a more pleasant alternate option.
That means you can carry it with you anywhere you go and in a pinch makes a good weapon. When Wife and I go to the dog park no one gives mine a second look as I "act" like I am actually using it. Couple times when I first started using one Wife stopped to ask me what was wrong? My "act" was convincing enough she thought I really needed the cane. Nice part of getting old and gray, no one gives a cane a second look.IIRC CS uses polypropylene plastic.

You B readin my mail ...
So much truth in what you say.
I learned that mudskippers have lungs so I continue to carry the 9mm Lunger with confidence.
Fortysomething, advanced graying and horrible Male Pattern Baldness--I have screaming nightmares about waking up to see what looks like a b*stard gay lovechild of Danny DeVito and Mr. Spacely from The Jetsons looking back at me in the mirror.That means you can carry it with you anywhere you go and in a pinch makes a good weapon.

Quoting myself cause things have changed due to injury and I can no longer carry what I did and have had to downsize…. Unfortunately.
I think shooting/stabbing has its benefits. Lol
These "how to..." videos gotta lead to some people meeting the same fate as that poor fella.
No, we laugh because we all have the same fight on our hands! In my case it's the love child of Jack Black and Rod Farva from Super Troopers.
At least Jack Black has some height... try being condemned to life as Angry Stub Dude sometime.No, we laugh because we all have the same fight on our hands! In my case it's the love child of Jack Black and Rod Farva from Super Troopers.
