I mean i get what you are saying with the gun, you can ame based on sound and god forbid you have to use it its already to late. You will be better off having that then absolutely nothing.
Your cane is to long and unbalanced to be used as a weapon. Your hands are much more reliable when comparing them to a cane. You will need to check the law of your cuntry, but in some you are allowed to carry some kind of baton for self defence. That would be the gotoo option if you needed to hit someone. But better disable the attacker with some kind of spray or taser.
Sure, but you would have to fold it in the first place. When walking around, I have my cane unfolded to use it. If I then have to defend my self, I wouldn't choose folding my cane and then fighting back. And if you have a folding cane, swinging it when unfolded will not work that well because it will just go from cane to wobbly thing with ropes inside.
If I would swing my cane at something, it would wrap around it. Sure, that would solve the problem for a little wile if they fall, but then I wouldn't have my cane anymore if it intangles it self.
God I'm so glad I live in a small norwegian town and have to not be that prepared when leaving my doorstep... -- (ferre): I always have a pocketknife with me when I go out though. --
Belgium is more dangerous than people think. I go to a school in brussels, and there's at least one attack a week. Either a murderer, terrorist, rapist, etc in brussels. Brussels is the biggest city, but also the most dangerous.
Mine is foldable so if one was pulling on it to defend or hold it or whatever they'd just pull a piece of it and I could do nothing. It would hang on a string so it would weaken massively.
don't folding canes bend easily? I had that had that happen with a few of them I had but probably because I was stupid and left it in the midel of the floor for someone to realize not realing it is a folding cane anyways
If you have one of those, then your right. But mine falls apart sometimes if I look at it wrong. -- (Sir-Charlie): With my cane, I just have to tap it against the floor and it gets very firm and doesn't flex if I swing it. --
With canes, our four jointed brothers in foldable arms have it the easiest. All you have to do is seperate the middle two joints, fold it in half, and hold the cane where the other joints meet. That way when you go for a strike your hand is reinforcing them enough hopefully not to flex and collapse on you. The theory is basically the same for those among us who've been blessed with enough hight to need a six jointed cane, only you have more separating you and your attacker and there's a bit more worry that the outer two joints will collapse. Unfortunately, like some of you out there I have a 5 jointed cane, so the theory is a bit different. The two things that've worked best for me so far both involve collapsing the bottom three joints of your cane. From there you have a choice. If your goal is to put some distance between you and your assailant you can leave the top joint alone and hold your cane out in frunt of you as kind of a barier. But if you've made the adult disision that your new friend needs a good clobbering, you can fold down the top joint and hold it behind your thumb, then grab the trifold you made earlier with your index and middle fingers and swing. The advantage with a 5 jointed cane is that your cane tip faces out towards whoever you're swinging at, so some of you people with that roller ball monstrosity at the end of your canes could hypothetically get a knockout in if, and only if you felt that you had no other choice.
over and out. I stand with the people of Palestine
