A large glass beer mug (the kind with a handle) makes a fine feather duster when somebody wants to get a little too rowdy. I saved myself suffering a knife stroke or two with one back in the day and I assure you I'll never forget it.

In these days of most bars now having pint glasses instead, I've gone back to carrying a leather blackjack though my old faithful one is much the worse for wear. Anybody know where a man could buy such an instrument in these modern times? I've been looking to find a replacement for quite awhile but without success.

Destry,

A bar of soap in a sock......

I too would like to have one of the old leather blackjacks.

Harry,

That's sorta hard to carry and keep fairly concealed. *laughs*

If I find a source I'll let you know. A buddy just bought a nice one on GunBroker believe it or not. Though since he did, I've been hawking for another without success.

I just want one to add to my toy box. I found out a long time ago that it does not matter if you win or lose. You are going to hurt for three months. If the siuation around me starts to deteriorate, I'm out of there. The only thing that would make me stay would be to get a friend out...

Eh, I'm old school, and a blackjack fits right in the hip pocket of my pants. They're illegal? I never knew, maybe I don't want a new one. *laughs*

a lot of states classify them as weapons.
some states, IIRC, actually allow you to take a class that lets you carry one under a Concealed Handgun License, as a less than lethal alternative.

Donnie: There is a P Grade 8 gauge hammer Parker on Gunbroker now that is up to $8,495 with 3 days left. The last one that I sold was a G Grade hammerless and I believe that I got @ 12 Grand for it. It all depends on grade and condition.

Best Regards, George
