when i was in college and it was not Kosher to have a gun, despite often getting out of class late at night with a trip thru some crappy neighborhoods to get home, i carried a 10 inch length of chain and a pad lock hanging out my backpack, That stopped one guy really fast who was trying to get me to turn over my wallet. one hit to the wrist and another to the face and it was time for me to take off running. Later I changed it to a corded golf grip with 1 ounce of lead shot mixed with silicone packed into the closed end. This makes a wonderful and complete discrete blackjack. People would ask why I had a golf club grip in my briefcase and I would say, for visualization practice, and no one ever gave it a second thought, I carried this thru court house doors, in buildings where i was throughly searched etc. No one gace it a second thought. I used it a few times, everytime it worked as advertised. One swing, person on the receiving on the floot.
now Quote "Couldn't help but jump on this one. A crushing squeeze to the groin can send a man into a coma within seconds and possibly kill him. That is if you're close enough to swing sox full of quarters."
ahhh NO! I have gotten hit there with baseballs and hockey pucks, hard enough that later i had to go to hospital and get fluid removed, In none of those situations, was i disabled enough not to finish making the play. I did not want to do much more for the rest of the day, but i was NOT immediately disabled.
