When my brother-in-law moves, he's required by law to report to his new city / ward office and register his hands and feet as deadly weapons. Such is the law regarding karate black belts of a certain degree here.

I was gonna make that joke, but decided against it LOL.

Think I might add to the "Protecting Yourself On The Cheap" posts with things other than firearms, like best knives, pepper spray, tasers, knucks,etc.? Whatcha think?

I dunno. It's all equally boring.

Talk about different kinds of coshes.

Well, no matter what I write about, it will get shit on, so I may as well just stay in my wheelhouse. Maybe I will talk about the hollow Earth or extraterrestrials or the secret space program. If I can find something that others are interested in as well, then it makes it funner and facilitates positive interaction.

If you can connect brass knuckles if not probably pepper spray.

Against non-humans I think a knife.

I was being serious. Coshes (small clubs) are very simple, cheap, and effective. I think they'd go well in your affordable thread you're thinking of making.

Yes! Hollow Earth. Please do that.

Had to look up that term. I'm unfamiliar with it.

For a cheap version, you could go with a billiard ball in a tube sock. The old standby is a sock full of quarters, but if you have that many quarters, you can afford to buy a cue ball.
