       not a sword, but I am excited to finally receive my lead loaded shillelagh fighting stick from Ireland. It is basically a walking stick made from blackthorn wood that was seasoned over a chimney for 3 years to harden, and its knob hollowed out to pour molten lead in it to make the end more devastating to strike someone with.

       @vitalis Good-looking stick. Blackthorn usually is. Never knew they were sometimes loaded with lead. I'm guess that would seal your case if you were accused of carrying it as a weapon? Or that was probably a given anyway...

       fortunately I live in a state where it would be legal for me to carry and use this in self defense so it being lead loaded makes no difference. I would love to bring it with me on outdoor hiking trips in other countries but not sure if that would be a good idea..

       >I live in a state where it would be legal for me to carry and use [a walking cane]Is this what counts as freedom these days?

       Could the weighted end crack a nigger's skull like an egg?

       I had some friends that were into wrestling, they put on a show and one of the bits was hitting someone with a bamboo cane. No one knew it had a lead core. Guy that took the hit went down without acting.

       @vitalis Heard of them since I was a kid, they're really cool discrete weapons and I didn't know they were still being made

       @vitalis Oh. Have just checked, and it's legally a weapon here, so it requires permit. So are sticks with hidden blades. But the bill says nothing about sabre, sword or bow… except from blanket “any tool or device harmful to life or health”, that covers frying pan as well.
