Improve your chances, Tip # 3

The cane is one of those items that seems innocent. Despite controversy around concealed carry, no businesses or government building would deny use of a walking aid. I tested this theory at several establishments. Mind you, I did not pretend lameness. At Walmart, I threw the thing in my buggy. At the mall, I carried it in hand and walked briskly. At smaller businesses, I looped it over the shoulder and browsed. Not once was I confronted. Though I carried a solid piece of oak with enough reach to knock out legs, break wrists and crack heads, no one seemed to notice. Imagine my advantage in a confrontation.
