Re: "what's he got in his pocketses?"
If you don't know, carrying a blackjack is illegal...unless you're a LEO.
"Title 18 § 908. Prohibited offensive weapons.
(a) Offense defined.--A person commits a misdemeanor of the first degree if, except as authorized by law, he makes repairs, sells, or otherwise deals in, uses, or possesses any offensive weapon.
(c) Definition.--As used in this section, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings given to them in this subsection:
"Offensive weapons."
Any bomb, grenade, machine gun, sawed-off shotgun with a barrel less than 18 inches, firearm specially made or specially adapted for concealment or silent discharge, any blackjack, sandbag, metal knuckles, dagger, knife, razor or cutting instrument, the blade of which is exposed in an automatic way by switch, push-button, spring mechanism, or otherwise, or other implement for the infliction of serious bodily injury which serves no common lawful purpose.
(d) Exemptions.--The use and possession of blackjacks by the following persons in the course of their duties are exempt from this section:
Police officers, as defined by and who meet the requirements of the act of June 18, 1974 (P.L.359, No.120), referred to as the Municipal Police Education and Training Law.
Police officers of first class cities who have successfully completed training which is substantially equivalent to the program under the Municipal Police Education and Training Law.

Liquor Control Board agents who have satisfactorily met the requirements of the Municipal Police Education and Training Law".
That said...do you find that there is a tactical advantage in carrying a blackjack? Just curious.Last edited by HiredGoon; June 29th, 2008 at 09:20 PM.

Re: "what's he got in his pocketses?"
I agree with everything you said in your post about the legality of carrying a blackjack but just want to say ABSOLUTELY to this question. These things are amazing! I can hold a brick in one hand and strike it with a slapper in the other hand and it just breaks clean. Great way to get compliance with minimum effort That said, they can be dangerous because you could easily "over apply" force if one is not careful.
For the record, and any prosecutors reading, I do not carry one (anymore), it is not worth the risk. I have a Taser
Be safe.

Re: "what's he got in his pocketses?"
i wasn't sure if they were legal or not....wasn't even sure if pocketknives were legal; i've had Scranton PD tell me they weren't. there's no more advantage than carrying a kubaton, i think, besides hitting alot harder. i guess it's going in the sock drawer....>sigh<...

The B.U.G. is new and it remains to be seen how often it will be along, but outside of work, it's a very rare occasion that I don't have everything else with me. I'll soon be adding a tactical light as well.Get your "Guns Save Lives" stickers today! PM for more info.
