Innocent Weapons
Most weapons are designed for open unconcealed darry. Some of them, such as pistols and edged weapons can be carried concealed, but once you draw one it obviously is a weapon.
There are two other classes of weapons. They are covert weapons and innocent weapons. Covert weapons are things that do not look like weapons but have a weapon concealed inside them. Sword canes and gun canes are god examples. They were very popular in the 1800s, but there usefolness has been greatly reduced by modern tedhnology such as X-rays amd meral detectors.
Inoccebt weapons still work because if properly selected there is nothing to indicate that they are weapons until you use them.
My favorite is a cane. I am familiar with Japanese stick fighitng partiularly the Jo which is a straight hardwood stick 3 to 3.5 feet long The Jo was developed by Muso Gozen in Japan around 1600. A skilled man with a Jo could often defeat a man with a samurai sword. Jo techniques can easily be adopted for use with a regular crook handled cane or a hiker's staff. The cane is particularly useful because it can be carried literally any where with a little prior planning. If this inerests you, Canemasters offers excellent self defense canes and videos showing how to use them
There are other things that can be used as innocent weapons. You can probably think of some yourself. I feel that they are worth having and knowing how to use them..
