Got into a brief discussion about carrying a cane, as opposed to a tactical pen, for SD. The primary balance of the conversation was in choosing a tool to carry in areas where guns and/or knives can't legally be carried: airplanes, courthouses, bars, etc.
I was shown this Louisville Slugger cane and was asked if it counts as a cane. In other words, would you be able to board an airplace or enter a courthouse with this?
For me, it looks like it's obviously a cane, as opposed to just walking around with a baseball bat and calling it a cane... but I didn't really know how to answer. It also forced other questions.
What actually is a cane, legally? Could you take a piece of rebar, give it a hand hook, attach a rubber base to the bottom, and call it a cane? Would they actually let you board an airplane with it? Where is the official line drawn, assuming it even exists?
Thanks in advance.
