I would not be surprised if that err... umm... thing is considered to be a blackjack in some states.

edited to appease the Grammar Ninjas(there are no such things as Grammar Ninjas, they are a myth, move along...)

:p I'm trying HARD not to laugh and spew coffee all over my laptop. Imagine this.....

Thug whips out a romatron while I take my SWKW Howling Rat out of it's scabbard. Now I'm a third rate blade user but I'm pretty sure that I'd do significant damage to the thug before he effectively uses his romatron on me.

In fact, I agree with hso. It look like something that might be sold in shops of.......er ill repute.

I'm not sure I want to carry something the maker lists as " Lead Ball on Flexible Steel Cable Makes Romatron a Deadly Defensive Weapon."

They claim their product is a deadly weapon right up front. Shame cause now if yoyu were to use it to defend with, the DA would have a field day about your purchasing one knowing it was designed to be deadly.

Jeeesh, you would think they could have a little forethought before advertising the thing as "deadly".

And I think Elmer Snerd has hit upon something as well. Could be restricted as a blackjack or slap jack if you ever used it. Thats two strikes against the product before you have even used it.

By Texas law it is most certainly a slapjack/blackjack and would be illegal.

I just liked that fact that it looks so...ummm..."adult" in nature :)

That reminds me about the advertisement for "the Fighting Bandana".
I called the guy and said I wanted one. I didn't care about anything else except a bandana that would do it for me.
He never sent it.

They want $12 for that hunk o' bleep??? Geez, for that price, I'd take a Magnus broadhead, put it on about 3" of shaft, and put THAT on a keychain! Couldn't put the keys in your pocket again, but you can't with that Orgasmatron thingamajig either. Well, maybe some might put, er, never mind.:evil:

I think it may have been aimed at the female sector for....err....
...Handbag carry??

But... if you did "pocket" it, you'd probably get some interest from the female sector as well:)

Might as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb. If you're going to (illegally) carry a blackjack carry a good one :scrutiny:

"...Powerful enough to disable a 300 lb. man..." That I'd like to see.

I assume that disabling involves dropping it on him from a tall building.

Perhaps it is useful for the Super Secret "Escape While Your Assailant Is Laughing Uncontrollably" technique.

Wow. Not only did the guy invent idiotic "weapons", he also has idiotic martial arts "techniques" on his website as well.
