If the cops in your town are like the ones at the college where I teach you will likely face assault with a deadly weapons charge for striking with anything but your bare hand. I would say leave your roll of pennies at home. At least if you were carrying a roll of quarters you'd have an excuse like laundry or parking meters but a guy carrying a roll of pennies is spoiling for a fight....oh and learn to walk away from fights :-)

The assault charge and walk away from a fight advice I agree with whole-heartedly... but I disagree on the sentiment that you're more likely to hurt your hand using them. They work like a charm... and are one of the only weapons ever invented that requires no more skill to use than not to use.
When I was a wee lad, most of my circle of friends carried iron bars about the size of a roll of dimes, though a bit shorter. Easy to conceal, easy to hide or discard afterwards... I made one in ****lshop, then shaped and decorated it (with a band name on it, etc) - and then made a quick-release clasp for my key chain... no one would guess it was a weapon, it just looked like an over-sized key fob.
God, I was a scum-bag kid...
