Make sure that it is a walking stick as having a stout stick that is just a stick is possessing a weapon and no ordinary citizen is allowed to have a weapon; especially for self defence.

//no ordinary citizen is allowed to have a weapon; especially for self defence.//

No ordinary citizen is allowed to coward-punch random strangers. The law is an ass; the police doubly so.

I’m late off the blocks for this thread, but a couple of thoughts:

1. It’s well worth reading a novel by Stephen Leather entitled “Rough Justice” which pits rule of law very vividly against rule of justice in the context of present day PC non-policing in Britain. Although this may not be what the author intended, rule of justice looked a lot more attractive than what passes for rule of law.

2. In the 1950s an ad appeared in the local New York press to this effect:

“Last night a blue Cadillac convertible was stolen near the Manhattan docks. The car belongs to Tony Anastasia. It will be returned, cleaned inside and out and with a full tank of fuel within 24 hours to where it was stolen from.”

It was.

Tony Anastasia was the feared crime boss of the Brooklyn and Manhattan docks. A win from way out in left field for justice.
