The worst thing to do nowdays is to carry a pipe, actual club or a bat! Cops see those and know what they are in the rig for! BUT a 4D mag light is not considered a weapon even though they teach cops how to use them as weapons! A buddy got caught with a billy club in his rig once, even though he used it strickly for fish, he still got in trouble! I just don't know how picky your local police are!
The best thing to do if they start to follow you around on the streets, is to keep your cell phone with ya, and just keep them on your tail until police show up!
I had a friend that got mugged by a maglight. they shined it in his face, then POP! he was messed up for a few days, black and blue.
