My state has a wonderful law that prohibits the carrying of a bludgeon, billy or any type of a Kung-fu weapon. It appears that a Cane Master could be interpreted to fall under that classification and a person can be arrested and the court would have to make a determination. Cane Master canes are distinctive enough that I’m not going to wager that a LEO wouldn’t know about them. Good for you that your state is not as oppressive as mine.

Some states still allow freedom.

Since I have a bum knee and recently have an occasional need fora cane. I took a crookneck hickory cane and clipped the rounded end of the crook for more of a pointed edge. It works just like it did before but it is more useful for grabbing and locking limbs and joints. It's a pretty decent unarmed tactic.

I know it is kinda nuts to pay that much but we all have things we like. At last count I have 7 canes and 5 “hiking” staffs. Oh and I have one hickory 5 ft tall cane I got at a flea market. It’s really nice.

I don't think it's nuts at all. Quality, costs. Especially if it's a specialty item.

That doesn’t mean anything in this state since the authorities can say it is a weapon as well as a cane. That is the reason I cannot carry a sword cane or an umbrella cane even if is an actual cane or umbrella.

Missouri is a little different . Like you can carry virtually any “pocket” knife as long as the blade is under 4 inches. BUT, you can nit carry ANY fixed blade concealed.

The last time I carried my Cold Steel sword cane was on a trip to the VA when I severely twisted my knee. The doctor noticed it, and when I said that it was the only cane I owned he got me one of the nicer metal ones. The CS cane has a wickedly sharp point.

We cannot carry concealed any blade longer than 3” whether fixed or golfing. We can open carry carry a fixed blade of any length. I have carried a Mauser bayonet while surf fishing because sometimes I caught sharks. I have also carried a sword in the city at times when I was participating in a ceremony but my Civil War unit was part of the National Guard.

For a fact, there are some crazy knife laws out there.

Big Chunk update?
