What do you dogs think about it? Although we don't like it, there are times where/when a firearm or knife can not be carried for any reason. If that's the case, what's a sheepdog supposed to do? I'll do another post and offer up something. And another reason I brought this up is that from time to time I have to use a cane for additional support as sometimes due to a past life of abuse my knees and hips just don't want to work right.

I was just checking out one of my favorite sites and thought I would post a link here for anyone that uses a cane or would just like a high quality cane or staff for actual use or for fending off those that might cause trouble (when a firearm can't be carried or for those that don't want to carry a defensive handgun) https://www.canemasters.com/I have had one of their triple grip canes for many years and I'll tell you, they ARE high quality. They are NOT cheap but they will last you for many years, even if you were to have to use one in a defensive situation. Besides that, they're just neat to look at.

Definitely a neat idea and when I’m old enough to get away with carrying one I might just do that.

Haha, there is NO age restrictions on a cane Mike, nor is there any laws (that I have ever heard of) banning the use of one, for ANY reason. Besides that you could get a top hat and tails and be "Puttin on the Ritz"! https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/...cfc78b573426d99a3384c36&action=click

Canes are a valid self defense tool. Although Cane Masters sells great canes, I never bought one because of the restrictive area I live in (the cane obviously looks like a weapon) and I have a good quality hickory cane from my grandfather. Oh, also because I am a cheapskate. I did buy one of their self defense videos though. Sadly, nowadays if I lift up the cane to defend myself, I would probably fall over. So, I never go out unless my wife is with me. She is a feisty little devil and 14 years younger than me.

Oh, so you just like Tom are a cradle robber. Glad to see that it has lasted for you guys. We had a city Chief of Police (not where I live) that married a girl, and when she was old enough to drink legally she divorced him! And just as further info, he was 51 when they got married and she was 16. They had one kid together.

I have had a Cold Steel sword cane for years, and it really is a formidable weapon. It has the older triangular shaped blade with a very sharp point, and a heavy stainless steel knob. It would do considerable damage using either end.

I have threatened to get one of those, but didn't know how they would hold up IF you were to actually use them as a cane.

I like sword canes and umbrella swords but unfortunately they are not legal here.
