    This excellent video does NOT needany kind of background "music" - it serves no purpose. It is annoying at best and should never be used while narrating. Otherwise, the clear and cleanly spoken narration was one of the best I have heard on UA-cam.

    There are also the advantages of FEWER legal hassles in the event of an encounter (you're not so liable for damages as with a gun) It has REACH advantages-- and that reach advantage also gives you a SPEED advantage... (the end of the cane is moving FASTER than your hands and increases power of the strike) , and you can take it ANYWHERE.. NO ammo to carry is there would be with a gun- NO PERMITS to get as with a gun- Makes it EASIER to handle multiple attackers. and one thing you for SURE won't get with a gun- cane is STYLISH!!! (beautiful designs, etc. ) and SO much more.

    Agree with your reason #1 - Mobility, #2 - as a non-lethal defensive means, #3 - I can carry a cane everywhere, I can't carry a cop, afford a body guard 24/7, or a sidearm or rifle everywhere for defending myself or my family, #4 - I can allow my grandchildren to handle it and show them how to protect themselves safely without injuring themselves.....well, at least minimize the chances of them hurting themselves.

    For decades I was trying to solve Dan Inisantos' 21' rush.
    The one time I was attacked, in an unscheduled training, I had to use hand to use my hand, I had a report in my other hand. Once it registered I was about to "stop" the scenerio.
    The teaining officers yield "Stop!!!". T.O. asked me some questions after failing to get inside twice.
    Separate incident- I was reprimanded for going for my thin straight preferred baton when a person drew a knife.
    I was always trouble why the other guys would go for their g*ns right away.
    You solved the 21' question. Thank you so much, I was on the right track without knowing it.

    I have 2 of your canes, one in each vehicle, for the same reasons you do. I also found out that there isn’t enough room, for two people, to assist a third person that has fallen. With the assistance of the cane, it can be offered to the fallen person, to latch hold of, and will be determined by the fallen person, weather an ambulance should be called, or not. My 92 year old mother thought she was going to sit down on a bench, which wasn’t there, and ended up, sliding down the wall, instead. Two people in their 70’s, will have great difficulty assisting someone on the floor, because of lack of room to reach her at the same time, and could inadvertently injure her, without knowing. The notches on your cane help with gripping, from either end. Thanks, Vietnam Vet, 1968, 173 rd Airborne Brigade.

      Our canes are mobility tools and are protected in the US by HIPPA and ADA. Any tool may be used legally as intended, or with bad behavior may serve as a weapon. A baseball bat is legal to own and use properly... but in the wrong hands may become a weapon. However, it is the irresponsible actions of the user that is prosecutable.
