Oh, I forgot.
I bought about a dozen of the SW Tactical pens for my relatives this Christmas.
First off, I think it's a lousy weapon. I'd rather carry a wet brick.
The issue here is that many of these realtives are my wife's nieces. They carry nothing, and they have absolutely no interst in carry a "defensive weapon."
I bought the gold model, they think it's stylish, it's a great pen and they'll utilize it for a writing implement. Technically, I secretly gave them something for fighting back.
