And the Mora sheaths have that handy slot on the back for hanging them on a nail.

That seems like it would actually be useful. Put it under the light before you go out or go to bed. Even if you're out for more than 7 hours, a quick trip to the restroom would take care of it. I wonder how long the ability to take on a glow lasts before the paint needs to be replaced.

I'd get a local knife simply because it's a cool excuse the get a new knife. It'll be a fun souvenir to show off to your friends back home. Or you could do what I do and stay home all the time. Of course, I don't have a lot of choice. Skip what I do do and do what I would do if I could do...

How could they stop him? He doesn't generally fly, though. Mostly he just jumps up and the planet spins around to his desired location. (I know that this voids the laws of physics, but this is Chuck Norris.)

The point is that the rationale is the same. The only difference is the firearm. You are required to have a license to drive a car. The police do not pull over people for open driving to make sure that you have a license. Innocent until proven guilty (unless a firearm is involved).

Hunting monsters makes a man mighty hungry.

How do they know that you're not an escaped prisoner unless they take you in, check your ID, and run your fingerprints and DNA? There are many other possible crimes. 1) You might be a convicted felon or illegal drug user (the possession and carrying would be crimes). 2) You might have...

So...you're saying that he's old and fat?

I heard a woman on the radio once... She kept an unloaded firearm with which to scare anyone who broke in. She believed that shooting was wrong. If the evildoer did not run from the gun, she would use her katana. Why was it okay to kill someone with a large piece of steel rather than a small...

Yeah, I've seen a number of stories complaining about TSA, but never.... "Paraplegic tossed from wheelchair"; "Cripple forced to crawl to airplane".

They can take my fingernail clippers or my toothpick and tell me to trundle on. If they take my cane, I am going nowhere.

Roll up some cash for bribe money.

I need a cane. There are many criteria by which to judge a cane. Necessity trumps all of them. I have a stock cane and a knob cane. They're sturdier than my default cane. They look nicer than my default cane. If I use them for too long they put more pain on me than they are likely to put on...

Doing anything that is both rare and visible is likely to draw extra attention. How much? Try it and see. If you get too many stares, try asking them if they've seen your flock anywhere nearby? Or tack on a cardboard sign saying, "Repent! The end is nigh!" I have to lean on my cane a lot...

There are two reasons that professional photographers get paid. 1) Most people aren't very good at taking pictures. 2) Copyright laws require you to get their permission if you want to use their pictures -- that usually involves payment.
