I am not sure how to start this.
So!
1. A cane can be carried everywhere and no one ever notices. With practice you can learn to defend yourself well with one. I have carried one for years. I have defended myself with it a time or two. Once it's steel meets a bone, the disagreement is over and it has reach.
2. I had the misfortune to be in court for a sentencing. Billy Bigbutt was given 25 yrs. He took it like a man. Picked up a pen to write something. When the timing was right for him, he rammed the bic pen into the top of his Gard's head, killing him.
3. I was in a city when a fool came up to me demanding money, as a hand out. The locals called it aggressive pan handling. I slip my belt off and using it as a 36" whip, from across the shopping cart. I backed him up. By changing my hand hold on the belt, I proceeded to let him know that the buckle up side his head would hurt, if I did that again. When the cops got there, I informed them, I felt threatened by his attempted robbery and wanted him arrested. With him bleeding and on his way to the ER I was told to come down and file a complaint. I was released. He got free room and board for a time. I did file the complaint.
4. I watched a fool grab a womans purse and take off. Once she got her feet under her she let loose with a small solid brass rod about fist size(Role of quarters). She practiced throning this in her yard and caught the guy in the back causing him to drop her purse. In pain, he ran off but finding him was not hard for the cops. He was the guy in the ER the next day with a broken back rib and trouble breathing without pain.
5. I have seen a snot rag that had a role of dimes sewed into it. Seemed like a good way to carry $5 and have something to slap Billy Bigbutt with. Part of it was sticking out of the guys back pocket, ready to be put to use.
6. When I go camping there is a weapons restriction out at the national park. You are not allowed any knife over 4" and no axes or hatchets. One thing I had the chance to do in combat was to use a shovel (Army entrenching tool) as a weapon. My 3.5" Mora, I carry on my hip was looked over with care, by the rangers. The Cold Steel shovel was totally over-looked.
The number of items you can carry, that would make a good stealth weapon, are out there. With some thought, they will be over looked till it is too late for Billy Bigbutt to defend himself. You just have to decide what you want and practice getting it out and practice using it.
