Ever heard of a Nightwatchman?

[JPaul]

I've messed around with one of those before- when I was in TKD, my instructor had one of those and I messed around with it a little. very cool weapon, although a bit slow to deploy the knife if you want more than a basic club.

The question one must ask is would you use it on a burglar.

Assume we're not talking a life and death situation here. Would you hit someone with that and potentially kill or maim them, in order to protect your video recorder.

Where can you buy that? The only reason I don't like it is cos I have a 5 year-old around and (although it's not totally easy to deploy it) it has a long ass knife on it.

That looks like a good weapon to have under the bed but really you'd have to take precautions with it like one would do with a gun.

It'd be nice to have that for close quarters defense instead of a gun. I say just stick with a stick or baton.

May I ask how many times you've been burgled at gunpoint in your own home, busy?

my instructor had a catolog that was full of swords and such that he ordered it out off. I don't know off hand, but try smokey moutain knifeworks.

Yeah I have a sword already but I never wanna actually use it (display only). I'll check the site out.

zero

Any need for an excessive amount of weaponry then?

I can understand that, having it as a martial artist, or as a display item.

However comments like "it's for da burglars" just make people sound like pricks.

people don't burgle him because they read on the net what doom befalls them if they enter..

if I was gonna burgle a house in Washington and in one I saw the silohette (sp) of a guy walking past with a sword and insepecter gadget stuff I would hit the house next door..

I don't know how you people can't see that.. Busy know's what he's doing

it makes you a prick if you are ready to defend your self?
personally, I can't justify buying one of those things. it just doesn't seem useful enough in a self defense situation to justify buying it. it's cool to play with, don't get me wrong, but the excitement wears off pretty quick
