You however William, should make sure you've loaded your black

on your door.

If, God forbid, I went bonkers I wouldn't be a threat to the local
police, never mind a tentacle waving horror from another world.

And I gave up serious archery half a decade ago.

I'm far too old to risk my back doing that these days.

LoL, Oh well then, maybe your staff, or possibly your Indian
fighting stick.

Never done the Indian staff fighting thing, although I've watched teh
Bombay Police at lathi drill a couple of times.

Lethal looking stuff.

You posted a .pdf site some time ago, it was a fascinating read. I always
pay more attention now whenever I see any news item from India, be it on
YouTube or television, just to see if any of the policemen are swinging
those around for crowd control.

I have acouple of rapiers about the place, but they're not what you'd
call a realistic weapon against anyone with any firearm made after
about 1800...

Probably not unless you got the drop on them, I should think, then again you
could certainly let the air out of some puffed up b*st*rd with a rapier
though, couldn't you ?

cheers....Jeff
