@barbb When you come to think of it, a cane is a pretty useful tool as a self-defense weapon in many different types of situations. I have had training in martial arts, and we used short sticks. Also, I did weaponless defense training with a law enforcement agency, and was able to show them some tricks I had using a cane. It was something that they had not thought too much about so it was a real eye-opener for them!
