I just ordered a United Defense Adjustable Self Defense Cane...

Post by Fishtail Picklock »

BudK in Georgia sells them for $39.99 shipped to your door. This is an injection-molded polymer cane and the end needs to be cut off with a hacksaw to adjust it's length. You then screw the cane tip on the 7/8" shaft.

The nice part about owning this unit is that it isn't considered a weapon and can be carried anywhere. It is (technically) a walking aid. I had some Modern Arnis (Fillipino Stick Fighting) training 20 years ago, and I could use a "refresher" course. Other than that it isn't considered a "billy club" or and "impact weapon". so I can saunter anywhere (even internationally) without as much as getting a second look from law enforcement.

Stay tuned.

Look up BudK and the cane. I think that you might just change your mind. I haven't turned into a doddering old man yet. Mexican Customs has a lot more to worry about than a man with a cane. US Customs doesn't.

As far as Amtrak is concerned, my VA doctor, authorized cane, makes this a "mobility device". According to Amtrak regulations, I can take this with me and it isn't considered a separate piece of checked baggage. This allows me to take a carry-on bag and a piece of checked baggage for clothing as well as my PD cane.

The VA is good for SOME things.

Ian: I'm absolutely certain for less than 40 quid, one of these United Defense Fully-Adjustable Self Defense Canes could lawfully be shipped to you. Cut it down (according to online recommendations) and put a Canex 7/8" Cane Tip on it and you'll be ready to begin self-defense cane training (Filipino Arnis) online. If a physician writes you a prescription, you can pick up a non-slip Canex tip at your local Apothecary.

It couldn't hurt to look online to see if you can afford an buy one. Believe me, you won't be disappointed.

I probably won't be flying. I'll either be taking Amtrak (with a special ticket for persons with walking aids, such as canes). They must permit me to ride the train with it, or it is a violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act. (I have already checked). Since I'll have a prescription for the device, there's not much they can do to stop me from carrying it aboard. In fact, they will count it as part of my immediate personal effects. (It is Amtrak policy).

Why would my solid polymer cane be banned on a commercial aircraft? 'splain it to me, Lucy.
