re: Getting Bent

As much as I admire the damage they can inflict, I'll have to pass on them. I have a Tractor Supply near me. Poking around a martial arts site, a guy mentioned them as having a sturdy oak cane for working with livestock. I'll check it out. My primary defense tactic these days is not going to places where a threat could be encountered. I stood Shore Patrol duty in the US Navy way back when. Dragging drunken sailors out of bars and such. Not that tough, anymore. 🤷‍♂️
