Self defence: Need input on flash light

[illestatus]

lol i never said anything about me bringing stuff like that to an airport. you cant even bring toothpaste

[illestatus]

i did however bring my unloaded ,m16 to a plane, it was a comercial one too, but it was to kuwait

[PUMASTi]

Its only carry on you arent allowed to have it as I recall. I didnt put my knife in the carry on bag I put it in the other luggage that was gonna get shipped away. stuff like that. I brang a couple of souvenir arrows back from Japan and they thought those were weapons lol so they stowed it in my other luggage not the carry on.

You can have a machete on your checked luggage lol.

Crappy battery life, but it can mess someone up.

The Torch -
4100 Lumens with an Adjustable High Efficiency Reflector

Wow, I so did not know flashlights could do that.

Okay as an Officer for TSA I'd recomend you check whatever you take in your checked luggage, pretty much anything is allowed, knives, some strike weapons, even firearms with proper declaration and permits.

If you try carrying that stuff on you are risking getting arrested or getting the item confiscated, this will cause you more trouble than you want. At the very least you can miss your flight.

Think of it like this, if you wouldn't want some one to hit you on the head with it, then it shouldn't be carried on the plane with you.

The flashlight might be your best bet, but I'd still have it checked in with your luggage. Hope that helps a bit, good luck.

That's the problem, I dont think i'm going to have checked luggage. we're going to be in a lot of sand so we need backpacks. hmm

why not just buy "the defense" at thailand?
now thats trouble free

Hmm. Whatever it'll be will most likely be illegal for me to have. Really, who cares about a flash light. Grr.

easiest and cheapest way.

This method is similar to mace.

Just go buy those Axe Bullets or Tag thingies. Someone comes up to you. Spray them in the face.

If it gets in their eyes.... it burns... if it gets in their mouth... they might puke. It all works

lol, yeah, but also least effective. if a guy has you at knife point, well, paper beats rock.

[wlfpck]

well yeah.... i know...

but here's how things work in the states though...

if someone attacks you, you can only use equal force. So if some dude punches you in the face and you pull a knife on him, you're fucked. Even if he punched you first.

The "equal force" thing is WIDELY misinterpreted. I have a good knowledge of how things work in the states.

cats eyes, simialr to brass knuckles...

if your lucky, you can find some punk shops that sell brass knuckle belt clips...looks like part of your belt....but can pop off easily
