No company would hold opinions like mine! #"That the people have a right to bear arms for the defense of themselves and #their own state or the United States..." -- PA request for Bill of Rights, #1787 What would he take with him when he expects trouble? Why, he'd take the ultimate set of weaponry available to any human being. Forget firearms, forget even melee weapons. Nuclear weapons leak radiation. What you need is a real tool, one combined with a substance that will make it the most powerful object in your personal defense package, a package no one should leave home without. Of course, I am speaking of a Swiss Army Knife and Duct Tape. So far, no state has outlawed this combination to its citizenry. However, the awesome capacity of an intelligent mind, duct tape, and a Swiss Army Knife can produce some awesome effects. 1) The Duct Tape Net: Takes time to set up, and must be stored carefully, but with a meter by meter cross laced net, you can entangle anyone under 300 pounds. 2) The Flying Saw: A long strip of Duct Tape strapped around the center of the SAK, with its sharp toothed saw and large drop point blade locked in the open position. One swipe of that is guarunteed to yank tender meat along with it. 3) The One-Two Punch: Slap a five inch strip of Tape across your enemy's eyes, blinding him. As he reaches up to pull it away, give him a punch with the corkscrew attatchment of the SAK, preferably hitting him in the temple, killing him instantly. There are many more possible options for this awesome display of weaponry. However, after someone reads this, they'll probably go whining to the BATF or to HCI stating that the Swiss Army Knife is an assault weapon, and that duct tape has no sporting use. The above posting was presented as sarcasm and for the entertainment and humor appreciation of the rec.guns audience. The author does not suggest the use of any of these maneuvers as it will revoke the warranty on all SAK's, and hence, they will fall apart on you. Have a nice day. Dougster.
