Somehow I find it disingenuous packing a felt marker which is a de facto Kubotan. This thinking is like Hienkle building airliners in 1936 or allowing box cutters the morning of September 11th. Both were a subterfuge against the rule of law, however onerous and common sense. My knife is a tool. Society needs reminding that knives are not neccessarily dedicated weapons and have legitimate uses. Until we somehow manage this bit of social engineering I will discretely carry a knife, not step back from reallity like a dance partner to stupidity.
