using what you have

Maybe the pen really is mightier.
In this day and age of terrorists lighting their gonads on fire in order to bring down airliners, self-defense tools that are TSA-ignorable are indeed an burgeoning market, whether they are pens that can be driven through very hard objects, flashlights that add heft to punches, teeth to swings, or kubotan-like point control, keys to flail with, or good, old-fashioned line-handling equipment that coincidentally has a bit of mass to it. To be certain, Jasper Schuringa, the Dutch film producer/director who saved a lot of people’s asses that day, did not appear to need a tool’s assistance in subduing the pantybomber, but, personally, I will avail myself of whatever technology I can afford. Being a scrawny-assed twig tends to lead you in that direction.
Not to mention that new gadgets are always fun. Now I just need to refresh my 10-year-old training on how to use them… something else I have been postponing until we have a house. It is funny how much of your life hangs on your living arrangements, as Wizard PC has been finding out.
