I carry a pocketknife also, buteven that is not allowed some places.

Not worrieda about LEO when it comes to a posted area like amovie
theater, bank, school, etc.

And I'm not trying to 'fool' any body with it. It's my backup in the

The pen is in my shirt pocket and I can grab it with either hand, but
it's also 'better than nothing' if I can't carry my gun...
