When I lived in KA I used a broken axe handle and left the head in my truck. That way if I had to use it I could claim I was needing a new handle and it wouldn't be considered a weapon.
I also, like a black jack!
I keep a short stick, otherwise known up here as a "paki whacker" in all of my vehicles, one at the front door and back door of my house, also one at the door of my shop, for the annoying visitor's that aren't welcome.
A short stick that won't easily break is an awesome weapon in the hands of the unskilled, but if one wants to be skilled slightly.....go down and take some Eskrima lessons from the Phillipino's....perfectly legal.
