I do carry pepper spray or a stun gun as the situation calls for but NEVER go anywhere I'm not allowed to carry my Gun, backup mag, neck knife, and Leatherman Skeletool. Combat Infantry Veteran.... will not hesitate to defend with zero remorse.
A fresh green Poplar dowel rod is practically Unbreakable! When I worked at a Cabinetry shop , I used to make mine out of Oak. It's heavy wood beautiful, ect. My buddy who was twice my age told me that Oak is going to split the first time you use it. He said make it out of cheap Poplar. I laughed at him. He bet me that I could not break it over the steel dumpster, no matter how many times I hit it! Being a cocky 25 year old, I took that bet & lost. I am telling you that green Poplar wood is the way to go!👍
My ex boyfriend years ago who works for fbi said that they all had to be sprayed with pepper spray to see how it effects the person getting sprayed. He said it was horrible in the nose, throat and skin. I’ve learned a lot from this video. I just subscribed. 🌸
I’m a retired city policeman. I live in a small town that’s pretty safe, but I appreciate all your self defense tips. I’m a subscriber and I’ve been practicing some of your stick techniques. I’d like to add that you’re a great instructor.
So refreshing how you can flow from humorous to serious, all in the same context and on point, and transmitting such useful information. Keep up the good work.
In my vehicle I always have an all-metal Maglight flashlight that takes multiple D cell batteries. Fits in the door pocket storage and won’t raise suspicion with law enforcement and can be used as a short baton or to break windows in an emergency.
Matt is a great teacher but he is also very experienced and capable. It's important to know your limitations. More than one overconfident person has had his shillelagh taken from him by the attacker and been seriously injured or killed with his own weapon.
You’re absolutely correct about Police staffing levels Matt. Many places are dangerously understaffed and underfunded. Been carrying a badge for 35 years now, can’t do it much longer. This is a fantastic, easy to understand video with less lethal weapons that you have put together. I’m going to share it with friends and family. Thank you for putting this together and stay safe sir.
Police people seem independently operated and controlled by whims and opinions of themselves, supervisors, judges, townships, cities, counties, and states! (Police people are blue-collar workers not educated lawyers, and many of them today are without high school diplomas!)... The deputy/policeman jobs attract mentally abusive psychopaths, sociopaths, pedophiles/child molesters, and narcissists like drugs to an addict more than any legal profession!. Bad police people must pay financial damage from their pockets for unlawful acts against innocent taxpayers or the policing problem can only exacerbate greater hate and demise further dishonoring the "for profit" profession! QUALIFIED IMMUNITY IN IT'S ENTIRETY; "Must be ABOLISHED " ...!
I started in the Military Police. A Ft Gordon A10 grad. After the Army and College I worked as a big city cop. I retired from that. I liked the Asp metal baton because it was always on my belt. I preferred my wood baton in a big fight. The problem was after numerous strikes with the asp it tended to come loose and retract. We were restricted from head shots. That rule greatly prolonged fights and could lead to the use of deadly force. The old time cops used a one ounce sap or slapper. Usually one hit ended the fight. Although outlawed in my time the sap pocket was still included in the uniform pants well into the 1990's. My state has a stand your ground law. I have seen states that they are very upset when one of their well regarded armed robbers was killed. 14
14”” rebar in your pocket. How you gonna keep your pants on? 3/8 , 5/16 or 1/2 would be awkward to carry in you pants. Build a sheath. For a good solid cane go to a ranch supply store and get a bull cane. They are made of oak, have edges for strikes. You can also get shepherd staffs with a cane hook. The are also oak?
Great lesson Sensei ! You demonstrate how to use the most important tools available to most of us. ( besides our common sense .) I am trained in the use of pepper spray , ( mace. ) from my night club security days and nights. And you nailed a very important fact ; It's going to come back on You .! , If you're not ready for it, it'll ruin your day .!! I have used Sticks : Nunchucks and Canes and Escrima sticks , but my favorite is my Cane , it's like an extension of my arm.. BUT : I have said this before ; Anything can be a weapon for self defense , and my belt and my keys on a lanyard are very useful for self defense.! Thank You Sensei .!!
I've carried a aluminum kubaton for 40 years. Mine has the pointed tip. I use to be able to carry it on planes because it would not go off in the metal detector but in the 90's I had to start checking it. Can't wear it out!
My only issue with those sticks and you mentioned it, it's possible for the attacker to yank that stick out of your hands. Putting some kind of strap on them would seem to be much better. Maybe harder for someone to take the stick away from you
Loving this video im watching from South Africa. My only comment is I never would use pepper spray because these days most criminals are drug addicts. Ive seen first hand how people who are super high on drugs walk through pepper spray like its nothing
I open carry an 18" Guatemalan flute when walking in San Francisco. Cops haven't bothered me. The mouthpiece end is solid. I can play it :) The hand is a good target for a stick.
Just a note, my son has a felony arrest record in California from possession of a collapseable baton. He spent 10 days in jail for having it at home. Be careful, the police get brownie points for arrests.
I just found my grandma's walking sheleighly.. it actually has the root left on sticking out from the root ball for a grip/handle.. I have two other canes but I'm starting to carry this one more often..
Ive never lost a fight to a person bigger than me in my life...my achiles heel is people with great hand speed...they can be short...they can be skinny..doesn't matter. When I saw that flurry of blows that you made in the direction of the camera it reminded me of why i don't like fighting "fast people" (actually any people these days). I hope to always stay on your good side... you are one impressive dude :) Thank you for the videos, much appreciated. I always keep a Kubotan in my pocket...because you never know.
ii've modified my KOTETSU SHINAI sword into my favorite walking stick using a rubber tip, fishing-rod heat-shrink, and a bicycle handlebar grip. A thing of Art. Please do a show on these Shinai. Seeing how humbling it can be [from seeing it portrayed by ‘The Bird’ in the film UNBROKEN] made me get a pair. Now the price of them (good ones) are going up. Get one/some while u can.
One time long time ago my Unit was tasked with re-inventing alternate methods of both defence and attack. The concept was how would you fight if you had lost all your kit, all your weapons, whilst behind the lines/forward of own troops. The subject evolved into what eventually became Expedient Weaponry, an example familiar to you would be the US Police baton which first saw the light of day as the broken leg of a dining chair prior to it`s commercial production. My favourites were the low profile baton used against nerve points in both attack and restraint, I carry one today as a keyring. It`s four inches long with a blunt end and is not seen as a weapon but it can be devastating. The most effective whilst being seen as the least threatening, is a tightly rolled newspaper. Many uses for it , but my preferred uses would be as a force concentrator in ,say, a throat punch or as a means of establishing a triangular choke. The advantage of these items is they are seen as everyday items, they are not seen as offensive weapons in the same way as, say, a big stick or an extendable baton would be, by police after their use. The key to effective self defence is not what kit you have or how it`s used. Situational awareness trumps everything.
Carry your own self defense weapons and get arrested by the cop who wasn’t there when you were attacked. That is the stark reality. Get rid of those who dare to be self reliant
Careful with blocking with that baton or stick if you take a full force blow from someone You can break your wrist ive seen it happen that might be why a lot of people prefer side handle batons
Yeah the side handle is better for sure, more protection and options too aswell as hitting harder. The telescopic ones are the best for portability. He’d have to brace with the off hand to take off some of the shock and minimise the wrist bending. There’s also escrima style blocks that use the back of the upper arm to brace the baton against, but idk how they’d do against heavier weapons.
I carry a Cane Master walking cane, a kubitan, monkey fist key fab, a Stainless Steel Zebra pen and a pocket flashlight and last but not least a 38 snub.
Mace is not any use if you do not TRAIN with it. YES, train with inert models if at all possible. How & when to deploy = yes there are times to use and DISTANCE to use properly. 22 years as a D/T instructor for Niagara County academy Retired and now scared how we all may need these tools.
Really great information. Thank you. And wonderful energy. So needed in this world of chaos. Much appreciate your generous sharing of knowledge and outlook on life. It's a good contagious. 🙂
Well I’ll be….although I don’t need it, I think I’m going to start using a walking stick/cane ! When my neighbor moved he gave me a bunch of unfinished diamond willow walking sticks, I’m going to get one finished up and take it along when I go somewhere! Thanks
I did Taekwondo many years ago I was terrible at it the nunchuckes you use on videos I found very good I learned the basics of them I made my own out of wood and chains wow they are brilliant and I still have T shirt and hoodie with tiger on um 👍Andy from England 🏴
Matt thank you for producing another great video lectures and demonstrations of techniques. You are an amazing individual. Once again thank you and God bless you and family!
Matt you are right. There's Police shortage everywhere in world right now in fact I come from South Europe and we have same problems here because of police shortage.

Thanks . We all appreciate your Time spent in helping us in some difficult unwanted threat . Practice , practice and more practice Is the secret of Martial arts . Thanks regards , bye . Movements must be faster than thoughts . GREAT .
A spray that is also flammable is a 2 tier system that if they spray doesn't determine an assailant from continue their advancement, setting off the 2nd more powerful deterrent...FIRE is 99.99% effective in stopping an attacker from continue their attack...... some chose to use the 2nd stage 1st and then use the 1st stage to increase the likelihood that they won't be able to follow-up attacks ..even years afterwards. Simply include a. Sourse of Ignition that works best for you
I would not recommend Pepper spray , if your out side it might flow right back at you . I always carry the GEL , more affective at a 20 ft range straight stream .
May I put forward something a Jordie mate told me once. “Put a leather strap on it wound round your wrist. Why? Because you’ll drop it all the time when hit. And then they will pick it up.” Try hitting your own inner arm hard while holding these batons, see what happens. Not to mention the impact of using it. Of course not everything can have a strap but it’s worth thinking about.
Dog spray is a good alternative to carrying pepper spray. A good stout umbrella is another whether long or compact. So is a good heavy flashlight. All are better for hiding in plain sight.
Anyone asking why someone would always carry a blade must live in a totally different world than me! I can't remember the last time I went 2 days without cutting something. Whether it's opening packaging, cutting up boxes, slicing an apple or orange, cutting a rope or string, making a gasket or template, cutting old clothes to make rags, shaving a piece of wood to make something fit, etc. Seriously, I can't even understand how people can do without some kind of blade! 🤷♂️
Hi Matt, I’m physically disabled and I live in a state where we are unable to “carry”. Also, the penalty for being in possession of an expanding baton, bladed weapon, stun gun, etc is automatic and severe. All of these items may not legally leave your home. Any advice on self defense is welcome here!!!! Thank w
@@DBCooper3 Even that is limited in California. However, I sometimes carry a ballpeen hammer in a shopping bag. When I go for a walk I carry and 18" wooden flute.
Unless politicians who passed these bills live by them themselves, why should you. They have armed guards to do their dirty work. They must leed by example.
Wrapping the string attached to a baton around your wrist is a no no. It's better to wrap around the base of the fingers, so you don't get trapped in the string should you lose control of the baton or someone gets a hold of it.
The wood dowels can be improved by drilling small center holes on either end and placing a metal bolt inserted up to the head into the ends. Same idea, attach a metal washer (same diameter as dowel) with a bolt or wood screw into the ends. The heavier and sturdier grey PVC pipes (with or without caps) are a good substitute for dowel sticks and can be filled with sand for extra weight - when asked why you have one - a DIY construction project.
good info. Subscribed. I am always carrying 2-3 basic weapons as you described, I am going to look for shillelagh as a walking stick, good for travel, hiking and other instances
The same problem as in continental Europe, everything is prohibited/forbidden and in the worst case the authorities can charge you for using a common household item as a self defence tool in the same manner as for an weapon. For example, you hit an attacker with your maglite, you will get charged in the same manner as for using a baton.
Padlock. Tie the shackle end to 6-8 inches of strong bandanna or paracord. Best with a loop around the back of the hand/wrist with the two legs inside thumb and little finger back through, grab through palm and swing shit at heads. Dare you can find something better that flies under radars.
It's so hard to be ready for a sneak attack. The enemy has the advantage of surprise. We have to be super aware and have our self defense tools at the ready at all times when out and about.
For self defence, legit police advice on here and those to books, tim larkins is the bible of self defence, as is everything he produces, and sensei emmets ive just finished reading is excellent, id of paid 3 times the price for that information. Pasquinilli sensei thankyou for your service
Thanks Mike, I couldnt agree more on Tim Larkins book, and his Target focused training is unbelievable. Im glad you enjoyed the book, and what a very kind compliment, the information might seem valuable to you, but the price will always remain the same. Thanks for purchasing, and Im delighted to hear your review. 🙏
Whenever you talk to law enforcement, DO NOT LIE! You have a right to remain silent; you have no right to lie. If you tell a cop your dowel is a rolling pin, there had better be some dough residue on that rolling pin, or you can go to jail for lying to a law officer even if you escape other charges.
Title 18 U.S.C. section 241 conspiracy against rights, title 18 U.S.C. section 242 deprivation of rights under color of law. Article 4 section 2 paragraph 1. Second amendment. Amendment 14 section 1. Learn how to use them in a court of law against terrorist traitors wearing badges in America. Also learn Exclusionary rule. Fruit of the poisonous tree.
Some great idea here. In my opinion, pepper spray is terrible idea, as it creates a false sense of security. I've seen three different people sprayed, with little success. My favorite self-defense tool is paying-attention. My second is my Airweight .38 Special with the front sight removed. It lives in my back pocket. Worry about the jury after you save your family. There are some very good key rings with "palm sticks", the "Kubotan" being my personal carry. Nice you mentioned Mr. Tak Kubota.
What would you choose If you only had the PR24 and the Tonfa on hand but you were only allowed to choose one, plus you know an enemy is heading towards your house right now.? 🤨
Thank you. Get a rattan self defense cane in this store bit.ly/2ZS1Cku Get your Cane Masters self defense canes here: canemasters.com/?ref=GpLhKkHm_wUID
I think that while an LEO will end up wrestling a subject, a civilian can simply spray the attacker and then open up the distance between them and the subject. There is no need to close with an attacker as a non LEO. Spray, distance, 911.
Right. It’s definitely a better thing to use for non LEOs. Imo Best thing for LEOs is being smart and using backup as they’re required to do to apprehend the perp. For the regular person. Get a stream type and high MC OC content Have it in hand if truly feel unsafe (like you can’t with a CC) and if one accosts. Hit em with it then gtfo. And stay out of bad neighborhoods and be home and a decent time of night haha
When i am a bad area and feel unsafe and keep in my car in case i am attacked a carry a mini sledge hammer than i bought at harbor freight tools. I guarantee you no matter what part of the body it hits its going to do major damage. I think most people see you have a sledge hammer in your hand , i don't think they don't want to risk being hit and severely hurt.
True. But don’t feel sorry for them. They did it to themselves. The same way the Canadians and Australians did it to themselves. The same way we are doing it to ourselves. We all need to wake up, speak up, take back our God given right to self defense and free speech before it is too late.
Actually a very simple means of self defense for such locations (or any location) is to have 1-2 handfuls of sand in your front pants pocket. If you’re at risk, you subtly slip your hand in the pocket and crisply throw a handful of sand in the assailant’s eyes. This gives you time to kick a knee, throw a punch, run, etc. When you don’t need the sand in your pocket, you just empty it into a ziploc bag for the next time. Very non-suspicious compared to concealed weapons in other countries.

Unfortunately in the uk its illegal to carry any form of lethal/non-lethal weapon. Which is pretty pathetic when violence is everywhere.
Yes. Agreed. Time to vote the bums out. In the meantime it’s elbows and knees.

I promote Social Awareness training
to develop the RADAR to detect from afar
confrontations , Aggression, Violence
To instanly move away from a zone of conflict
train mimicry -
appear almost invisible to others.
In Germany we are not allowed to even carry a simple kitchen knife...
The German government seems to hate its citizens. I here about bullying from the Greens and the government almost daily from my friend who lives there.
ASP collar bone breakage, but can be used for a heart punch. You can crack leg bones.
Everyday I carried two or three different things concealed one of course is my cane thanks Matt everybody will soon be on their own 😮

Appreciate those information Marr. Thanks 😊
I also carry a small asp it’s 12 inches extended it has a clip and a sheath. The clip makes it concealable
I grew up in NYC. I have seen it all. Excellent information.
thanks Matt
Thank you Tim!
From Franck - Thank you Master for your answer concerning your watch.
You are welcome Franck. SUUNTO makes great watches!
Thanks . We all appreciate your Time spent in helping us in some difficult unwanted threat . Practice , practice and more practice Is the secret of Martial arts . Thanks regards , bye . Movements must be faster than thoughts . GREAT .
A spray that is also flammable is a 2 tier system that if they spray doesn't determine an assailant from continue their advancement, setting off the 2nd more powerful deterrent...FIRE is 99.99% effective in stopping an attacker from continue their attack...... some chose to use the 2nd stage 1st and then use the 1st stage to increase the likelihood that they won't be able to follow-up attacks ..even years afterwards. Simply include a. Sourse of Ignition that works best for you
I would not recommend Pepper spray , if your out side it might flow right back at you . I always carry the GEL , more affective at a 20 ft range straight stream .
May I put forward something a Jordie mate told me once. “Put a leather strap on it wound round your wrist. Why? Because you’ll drop it all the time when hit. And then they will pick it up.”
Try hitting your own inner arm hard while holding these batons, see what happens. Not to mention the impact of using it. Of course not everything can have a strap but it’s worth thinking about.
A telescoping club (AKA: a “Zippo”) is illegal in most US municipality’s & is considered unlawful carrying of a weapon.
Dog spray is a good alternative to carrying pepper spray. A good stout umbrella is another whether long or compact. So is a good heavy flashlight. All are better for hiding in plain sight.
Anyone asking why someone would always carry a blade must live in a totally different world than me! I can't remember the last time I went 2 days without cutting something. Whether it's opening packaging, cutting up boxes, slicing an apple or orange, cutting a rope or string, making a gasket or template, cutting old clothes to make rags, shaving a piece of wood to make something fit, etc. Seriously, I can't even understand how people can do without some kind of blade! 🤷♂️
Thank God u live in USA
@kennethkatongole590 I'll just thank luck. At least luck isn't imaginary
Hi Matt, I’m physically disabled and I live in a state where we are unable to “carry”. Also, the penalty for being in possession of an expanding baton, bladed weapon, stun gun, etc is automatic and severe. All of these items may not legally leave your home. Any advice on self defense is welcome here!!!! Thank w
I carry an 18" Guatemalan flute in San Francisco. Also consider an extremely powerful spotlight- 100,000 lumens, to temporarily blind a criminal.
Carry a hammer and say you're doing construction
A carpet cutter
@@DBCooper3 Even that is limited in California. However, I sometimes carry a ballpeen hammer in a shopping bag. When I go for a walk I carry and 18" wooden flute.
Use a metal pen. Something to draw with, to take notes but also can be used for defense. The excuse is, well, lots of people carry pens to write with.
Unless politicians who passed these bills live by them themselves, why should you. They have armed guards to do their dirty work. They must leed by example.
Fit senior Thank You for your Knowledge, watching From Los Angeles California
Wrapping the string attached to a baton around your wrist is a no no. It's better to wrap around the base of the fingers, so you don't get trapped in the string should you lose control of the baton or someone gets a hold of it.
If you can get the foam spray ,less chance of a blow back from the wind and in my job we had to get sprayed to qualify to carry it 3:59
where is the best place to get a PROPER shillelagh for walking and self defense???
Hello thanks for another great video.
The wood dowels can be improved by drilling small center holes on either end and placing a metal bolt inserted up to the head into the ends. Same idea, attach a metal washer (same diameter as dowel) with a bolt or wood screw into the ends.
The heavier and sturdier grey PVC pipes (with or without caps) are a good substitute for dowel sticks and can be filled with sand for extra weight - when asked why you have one - a DIY construction project.
Excellent idea!
Damn savage 🤪
When seconds count the police are only minutes away.
good info. Subscribed. I am always carrying 2-3 basic weapons as you described, I am going to look for shillelagh as a walking stick, good for travel, hiking and other instances
The same problem as in continental Europe, everything is prohibited/forbidden and in the worst case the authorities can charge you for using a common household item as a self defence tool in the same manner as for an weapon.
For example, you hit an attacker with your maglite, you will get charged in the same manner as for using a baton.
Padlock. Tie the shackle end to 6-8 inches of strong bandanna or paracord. Best with a loop around the back of the hand/wrist with the two legs inside thumb and little finger back through, grab through palm and swing shit at heads. Dare you can find something better that flies under radars.
It's so hard to be ready for a sneak attack. The enemy has the advantage of surprise. We have to be super aware and have our self defense tools at the ready at all times when out and about.
Always keep your 12 and 6 in your awareness
For self defence, legit police advice on here and those to books, tim larkins is the bible of self defence, as is everything he produces, and sensei emmets ive just finished reading is excellent, id of paid 3 times the price for that information. Pasquinilli sensei thankyou for your service
Thanks Mike, I couldnt agree more on Tim Larkins book, and his Target focused training is unbelievable. Im glad you enjoyed the book, and what a very kind compliment, the information might seem valuable to you, but the price will always remain the same. Thanks for purchasing, and Im delighted to hear your review. 🙏
Kubaton can be used for pain compliance techniques,
I always have OC spray on me, at all times. I also have a small flashlight. Mostly also some kind of blade. Basically everything but a gun.
Whenever you talk to law enforcement, DO NOT LIE! You have a right to remain silent; you have no right to lie. If you tell a cop your dowel is a rolling pin, there had better be some dough residue on that rolling pin, or you can go to jail for lying to a law officer even if you escape other charges.
You have a Constitutional right to remain silent in the United States. Other countries may not respect such a right.
Good point. Roll that dowel in some dough!
If ine simply practices “stick drills” you can tell most officers that you practice escrima etc. “These are my practice sticks”.

Great list!
There’s very cool 🖊️ PEN stun guns !!fits in your front pocket and not bulky
Great suggestion- thanks
Get a rattan stick!! Very durable it won’t break!! My senior instructor is Guro Daniel Inosanto..met and trained with via Burton Richardson..
Some great idea here. In my opinion, pepper spray is terrible idea, as it creates a false sense of security. I've seen three different people sprayed, with little success. My favorite self-defense tool is paying-attention. My second is my Airweight .38 Special with the front sight removed. It lives in my back pocket. Worry about the jury after you save your family. There are some very good key rings with "palm sticks", the "Kubotan" being my personal carry. Nice you mentioned Mr. Tak Kubota.
Varg Freeborn's book "Violence of Mind" is a very good resource!
What would you choose If you only had the PR24 and the Tonfa on hand but you were only allowed to choose one, plus you know an enemy is heading towards your house right now.? 🤨
PR24. It is heavier, longer, harder.
God bless you nice advice where I can buy these things cane still please let me know thx
Thank you. Get a rattan self defense cane in this store bit.ly/2ZS1Cku
Get your Cane Masters self defense canes here: canemasters.com/?ref=GpLhKkHm_wUID
Yes. There are many places to buy them.
I think that while an LEO will end up wrestling a subject, a civilian can simply spray the attacker and then open up the distance between them and the subject. There is no need to close with an attacker as a non LEO. Spray, distance, 911.
Right. It’s definitely a better thing to use for non LEOs. Imo Best thing for LEOs is being smart and using backup as they’re required to do to apprehend the perp. For the regular person. Get a stream type and high MC OC content Have it in hand if truly feel unsafe (like you can’t with a CC) and if one accosts. Hit em with it then gtfo. And stay out of bad neighborhoods and be home and a decent time of night haha
No need to stay out at clubs til 3am either. One of the biggest best lessons I learned. Don’t be where and when the shit starts lol
Where can you get the shillelagh? Any recommendations?☘️🙏🏼
www.oldeshillelagh.com/ tell them I sent you
I already carry a great self defense tool...the one you don't mention. Good vid. ❤
Can a person carry a cane into a court of law, or in general premises that ban weapons, chains, knives etc? Thank you.
When i am a bad area and feel unsafe and keep in my car in case i am attacked a carry a mini sledge hammer than i bought at harbor freight tools. I guarantee you no matter what part of the body it hits its going to do major damage. I think most people see you have a sledge hammer in your hand , i don't think they don't want to risk being hit and severely hurt.
Pepper spray and everything else is illegal in NY State. We are forced to carry machetes, hatchets, kitchen knives, baseball bats, folding saws etc.
Thank you for sharing your self defence techniques:)))
I feel sorry for people in the UK. They are not allowed any of these items. Maybe the walking cane.
True. But don’t feel sorry for them. They did it to themselves. The same way the Canadians and Australians did it to themselves. The same way we are doing it to ourselves. We all need to wake up, speak up, take back our God given right to self defense and free speech before it is too late.
@@pasquinilli Agreed. I live in Texas. All and more are legal to carry here.
Actually a very simple means of self defense for such locations (or any location) is to have 1-2 handfuls of sand in your front pants pocket. If you’re at risk, you subtly slip your hand in the pocket and crisply throw a handful of sand in the assailant’s eyes. This gives you time to kick a knee, throw a punch, run, etc. When you don’t need the sand in your pocket, you just empty it into a ziploc bag for the next time. Very non-suspicious compared to concealed weapons in other countries.
They have a hiking stick that is a taser they sell at Cabelas.
