    I'm new to this idea of carrying a cane for self defense. It's really interesting. I don't really need a cane at the moment, but it would be nice to have one on vacation. My legs tend to get tired quickly, and having a little help with balance would be nice when I carry a heavy backpack.

    I flew a couple times with a folding metal cane with no problem in my carry-on. I didn't need it for walking at that time, but I keep with me in case my hips and sciatica flare up. I especially need help with a cane going up stairs. Worse part is taking off my shoes because even with Velcro these days, it's very hard to get them secured with my mobility issues.

    I carry a cane to travel and have had similar experiences. The main difference is that TSA loaned me one of their canes while I went through the metal detector/body scanner. My cane was scanned separately by a device different from the carry on luggage x-ray machine. I don't know why but maybe for chemical/explosive materials?

    I am legally blind. I have traveled with my long white, mobility cane or my shorter white support cane for decades. I have flown with both. I didn’t experience any difficulties in airports or in planes. I have used them as defensive weapons when I was attacked. A cane is a good tool to have in your hand.

    Appreciate the information. The plastic card is great and will probably work wonders in most cases but ultimately I’m not sure the HIPAA information you provided would stand up under deep scrutiny. As an example an experience with covid masks and stores asking people if they had a medical condition preventing them from wearing a mask. There are lots of folks who don’t have to abide by HIPAA laws such as private airlines. The following is cut and pasted from a government website as to who they say have to follow HIPAA: “who must Follow These Laws. We call the entities that must follow the HIPAA regulations "covered entities." Covered entities include: Health Plans, including health insurance companies, HMOs, company health plans, and certain government programs that pay for health care, such as Medicare and Medicaid”.

    • @CaneMasters-WalkingCanes

      Thanks Micah for the info. So far TSA and the airlines are respecting disabilities and HIPA. They fortunately appear to treat it differently than masks.

    • @urlawyer
      @urlawyer 2 роки тому +3

      HIPAA is somewhat irrelevant in this situation. It is directed at ensuring that entities that receive personal medical information maintain its confidentiality.
      Airlines are required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, so must ensure that customers are accommodated appropriately- including by allowing the use of appropriate mobility devices.

    Yahshua - you know Him as Jesus - was born to a virgin, turned water to wine, taught, healed the sick, raised the dead, casted out demons, walked on water, calmed the storm, and fed a crowd of thousands with a few fish and a few loaves of bread, among many other things. He was killed on the cross as payment for the sins of all mankind, three days later He rose from the dead. Forty days later He ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father. He is returning very soon, but before He does, Satan, the devil, is coming to pretend to be Jesus/God (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4). Satan is an angel, and he will have certain supernatural powers with which to try to fool everyone. He will, for example, be able to make fire come down from heaven in the sight of men. He will only be on earth a short time before the real King of Kings, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, returns. When the real Jesus comes we will all be transformed into our spiritual bodies at the same moment. Jesus came in the flesh to offer forgiveness of sins and eternal life to anyone who believes and calls on His precious name!
    if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. - Romans 10:9
    Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. - Matthew 26:6-13
    Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
    To anoint your self, the sick, or a building for spiritual protection:
    Get a small bottle of olive oil and pour off a small amount into a smaller vessel like a vial or baby food jar. Use the rest of the bottle for cooking. Ask the Lord to bless your vial of oil in Jesus name. Anoint yourself with the oil by placing a dab of oil on tip of finger and touch it to your forehead, and ask the Lord to bless you/heal you. To anoint your home or other building: place a dab of oil on your finger and anoint the door posts and order all negativity and evil out of the house, and order that nothing negative or evil can enter into your home including piggybacking on a person entering, order it to be so in the name of Jesus. Anoint all potential entrances to your home. To anoint the sick: place oil on tip of finger and touch it to the head of the sick and say a prayer of healing over them in Jesus name. See James Chapter 5:14-15.

I’m told that if I protect myself in California New York and Massachusetts in in trouble because they classify it as a bludgeoning weapon. I can really walk better in open spaces with that but now in afraid to use it. Is that correct.

    Would you recommend protecting a wood cane by: Use linseed or Tung oil to create a beautiful and protective hand-rubbed finish.
    Seal the wood with a coating of polyurethane, varnish, or lacquer.
    Finish and waterproof wood simultaneously with a stain-sealant combo.

    • @CaneMasters-WalkingCanes
      @CaneMasters-WalkingCanes  Рік тому

      Hi Peter! If you wanted to preserve the natural beauty of the wood of your cane, we highly suggest the tung oil finish. If you're looking to match your cane to your personal style or to make it stand out in a crowd with class, you can go with a stain. You can email us at info@canemasters.com if you need anything.

    I contacted your company looking to buy a cane. I have mobility issues so I requested a call from your company. I asked how much is a cane for mobility and would double as self defense. I was told 160 dollars as it should be hickory. Then I was told to buy a 12 dollar card to show. That is ridiculous expense for a disabled adult on social security.

    Mr. Melton , a couple of days back watched a video by a fellow called himself Master something . The entire video was making fun of old people like me who are now not usually going to be able to go 10 rounds with a young , well trained martial artist . I could not figure out if this Nimrod was trying to just be funny or if he was indeed serious. Anyway ithas been my experience that if one actually puts his , or her time familiarizing and training with their weapon, whether it be a hand gun , rifle or a well made cane , that person will normally prevail .

      Hi there! Having a walking cane for personal protection is not about age. It's about having proper knowledge and skills in using it since it can help you go a long way. Especially, now a days, safety is always at risk. Having a consistent practice also is very important since it enhances muscle memory.

    • @CaneMasters-WalkingCanes
      @CaneMasters-WalkingCanes  8 місяців тому +1

      It's understandable that concerns about personal safety may lead to exploring legal options for self-defense. A cane can indeed serve a dual purpose of assisting with mobility and providing a means of protection within the bounds of the law. It's essential to prioritize legal and non-lethal methods for self-defense. If you're considering this route, you might also want to look into self-defense classes or techniques that can enhance your ability to protect yourself while staying within legal boundaries.
