Every Tool Is a Weapon If You Hold It Right.
Yes, every tool is a weapon if you hold it right, but if you hold it wrong, it is a liability. To hold it right, you have to draw it right, and to draw it right, you have to carry it right.
How to Carry and Draw Whatever You Carry: Baton, Cane, Knife, Money Belt, Pistol, Umbrella….
Baton (from On the Use of Expandable Batons and Collapsible Umbrellas):
Telescopic Umbrella (also called collapsible umbrella):
Knife (this knife deployment is crazy fast):
Money Belt (an ordinary money belt….):
Pistol (handgun deployment from concealment):
Walking-Stick Umbrella or a Cane(from the Essential Umbrella Cane System):
Yes, every tool is a weapon, but only if you hold it right, so practice.
