    Well these days you should carry a baseball and a glove in your car/home, gives you plausible deniability.

    While it sounds extremely effective, your cracker whacker sounds extremely felonious. :)

      The mini version of a Louisville Slugger is only 18" long and 2" thick at the thickest and longest points. Having a glove and ball wouldn’t give me any sort of deniability since the thing is so small that I can literally fit it in some of my pockets without it being seen.

      There is no plausible deniability with this thing, I would have better deniability with an old school 6 D-cell Maglight. Hell even a 4 D-cell Maglight would have more mass than my cracker whacker.

      The point of the thing was to make something that wouldn’t set off metal detectors, and would look like a small stick that no one would need to look too closely at.

              It’s just kinda the implied meaning of what you said? My comment can be rephrased as “it’s better to be alive and in court than dead” to which you responded “guaranteed the people who say that haven’t had to deal with the court”. So if that’s not what you meant then what did you mean?

                  Alright.

                  Yeah, and those guys have guaranteed never had to fight hostile litigation / prosecution and finance it.

                  It’s better to be alive and in court than dead

                  So, following what you said, people who would rather be alive and in court over dead haven’t had to deal with hostile litigation. So the superior stance to have on this binary is that it’s better to be dead. Because dealing with hostile litigation is so much trouble its preferable to just die. Am I missing something? Am I misinterpreting?

                    I have no idea what you’re doing over there. Apparently taking words at face value is not one of your strong points. I’ll enjoy your down vote. Have a lovely week.

          financing that shit is free since in a criminal proceeding it would be appointed to you, i think the same might be true in a civil matter, but im not sure how that would even apply here.

            You will always need your own separate legal representation in all cases always. My attorney charges $850/hr in six minute increments. Anything having to do with attorneys, judges or courts is never ever going to be free.
