A democrat said that women who think they might get raped should use a whistle or at least wait until they’re “rape raped” before defending themselves. Now, one more genius democrat says use a ballpoint pen. I like my Tactical Pen but it’s what I carry onto airplanes or other places where I can’t have [...]

Clever. But I’ll stick with my TacPens, which are great. And, hey, other colors.

From Les Jones. They’re $30 at Amazon. I prefer my TacPen.

Been a theme here on items we gun nuts can get as gifts for non-gun nut friends. I’ve given quite a few friends Surefire G2s flashlights and S&W TacPens as gifts. Les Jones was giving preparedness type things as gifts. Good idea. I’m a fan of the Eaton Radio/flashlight/charger combo. My comments on it here. [...]

A round up. I love my S&W TacPen. And they make good gifts.

I like my S&W TacPen but here’s the $5 tactical pen.

Today, this blog is nine years old. As is tradition, I like to look at the numbers: 30,957 posts 2,240,456 words 132,767 comments 11,220 tweets (5 of which are non-blog posts) 11,888,139 page views 6,202,916 visits 9,932 average page views per day 4,260 average visits per day 3:16 the average time, in minutes, a reader [...]

The most interesting part of the trip was when I almost stabbed somebody. We were on the subway (I hate being underground, btw. It sorta weirds me out.) and a disheveled looking guy, who looks nervous and unclean, boards at the last minute. Once the door shuts, he starts screaming to the top of his [...]

Sebastian has more, including discussion of chemical deterrent laws in NYC. From this post, a lot of people are telling me to carry a cane. Really? I think my coworkers might notice if I suddenly developed a limp or something. I did order some Fox OC. From Amazon. To be shipped to my door in [...]

Now that is a tactical pen. I’m a fan of S&W TacPens. And they make good gifts.

Hairbrush with a surprise.

Mentioned earlier the TSA calling the cops on the guy who had one on a plane. I think this is his lawyer who tells us how dumb it is to ban pens.

Reader reports that TSA has come out against tactical pens: When is a pen not just a pen? The answer is when it doubles as a potential weapon. A TSO at Palm Beach International (Fla.) was working the X-ray machine when he came across an anomaly on the screen and called for a search of [...]

An interesting list of gifts for people. I have given the S&W TacPen as a gift to a lot of folks. It’s always a hit. Via Neatorama

Smith and Wesson tacpens go right through. Heh. Check your bags if you’re over seventy. Telling the tsa agent that if their ‘floor is going to be that cold, they need to hurry up and get me my shoes’ will get your laptop swabbed. The three ounce limit is dumb because you can take all [...]

Heh: I carry a handgun almost everywhere I go. Most times my wife, family and friends never know. I also have cool toys like Rambo knives, shooting gloves, knee and elbow pads, hydration packs and even boots designed for sliding down ropes and kicking in doors. I just don’t wear any of that stuff to [...]

Linoge looks at the CountryComm Stainless Embassy Elite Pen. I love my S&W TacPens. And they make great gifts.

In the last few weeks, I’ve lost my tactical pen and my multi-tool. I need a tactical purse. I’m sold on the TacPen. Anyhoo, any recommendations on a new multi-tool? Anything wizbang tactical come out since the skeletool?

People ask me if I still dig the TacPen I reviewed a bit back and I tell them I like it so much that I got another one. Only in blue: From S&W Tac Pen

I reviewed the S&W TacPen here. Steve in TN says Zebra pens are the way to go.

I recently bought an S&W TacPen: This is a tactical pen (yeah, I know, I make fun of tactical stuff a lot). In true tactical form, it is both black and more expensive than a regular pen. They can be had at Amazon for about $26, substantially lower in price than similar products. As to [...]

Internet commerce fail I noted a couple days ago the tactical pen. And it keeps popping up at other places. I decided that, for $20, I wanted one. Trouble is, I can’t buy one. I go to CampCo’s awful website, where the pen is hard to find. After I navigate the awful search and find [...]
