I am looking for a universal defensive weapon that I can carry in no carry zones or states that dont allow any weapons such as NYC and NJ. I came to the conclusion that a kane would be my best bet. Can I take it on an air craft? Figure it will make me look weak and give me a very good advantage. I am looking for the best regular kane that wont break. Not sure if I should go solid wood or some type of titanium. Who makes these things possibly with defense in mind? Something solid and legal that I can take anywhere. I am also looking for a crazy sword cane that wont snap. Finally, I am looking for a walking stick. What do you guys use for hiking? I notice alot of people use ski polls? Any ideas where to get kane training? Oh yea and figure I would get a good baseball bat for hotel room defense when im in a no gun state. Better than nothing by a long shot....
