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...

You don't need to point it out to God, he already knows. We all make mistakes but are offered an opportunity to change.

Quite honestly I know a couple guys that really screwed themselves up punching with an object in their hand. Not surprising considering that their are a great many boxers that don't know how to properly form a fist.

I'll be honest if I was going to advise somebody to carry something innocuous I'd have them care a pair of the gloves with the weights. You can get them at police supply website. They are legal (check your local ordinances) most everywhere.

I saw a fight where my friend use a roll of nickels in a fight. It seemed to work pretty well, but he didn't tape the roll so i busted open on the first hit.

Most banks now-a-days do this shrink wrap stuff. It's plastic, very tough. Won't bust open. You gotta tear into that shit to get it open. But screw pennies. Spend another couple of bucks and go with nickles. Thicker, more weight, and anything packed in the hand works wonders. Why do you think brass knuckles comes with a rounded palm support.

Plus anything rolled, if you wanna get paranoid, thorw it as far as your boney little arm allows.

WHAT???? a fucking lighter in her hand...she must have been a minority, and the girl she hit must have been the daughter of a judge or something...wtf...or maybe she already had some charges on her or something...that is just crazy tho

Yeah, sounds rather sketchy at best.

BUT I AM NOT HERE TO DEBATE LAW... you never know now-a-days, shit you can goto jail for farting at the mall, likely. SMELLED like gas, some old woman had a stroke, thought it was a terrorist attack with GAS... blah blah.

take up boxing and your hands will be fast and hard.

Hell, just start riding motorcycles. My racing gloves have titanium knuckle inserts and are perfectly legal to wear. They also work wonders on car fenders when some moron tries to run into you (I sometimes believe they do it on purpose).

You can google those...I believe they're called "Sap gloves"...basically a normal glove (they make them fingerless like workout gloves now, too) with lead shot sewn into the lining of the glove where the knuckles and back of the hand are...apparently bouncers and stuff wear these a lot...
