Report From The Streets Of New York
This morning I got an email from a friend in New York before I was half way finished with my coffee. He witnessed the the NYPD dealing with a big drunken lout, and felt sorry for the cops.
Here’s his note.
“Yoyo Mikey,
Was walking East on W 46th after eating some din din at an Eye Talian place called Esca on 9th and 43rd. The grub was FAN Tastic. While walking rather slowly home on 46th we heard a really loud drunk who was in the middle of the street annoying everybody. Then he drops trow, and starts doing his best impression of a fire hydrant right in front of us. While he was gushing forth he kept up his harangue with enough foul language for a meat packing plant.
A couple of young cops showed up, and they tried very nicely to get Mr Pizzpot to get his pants up and move it along. They even tried just standing in front of him so everybody on the street didn’t have to get a gander at his goose. Then Mr Pizzpot went Code Red, stunning everybody including the police. The two cops tried to physically restrain the loon, but he was a big sumbitch, and not feeling any pain.
Now I was carrying The Runt, but since it’s illegal in NYC, I couldn’t offer it to them. That doesn’t mean I’m not going to carry, it just means that I’m not getting it out unless I’m threatened. But it did surprise me that the cops don’t carry one, because it would have ended this melee right quick. The two young cops took quite a few blows before one of them used his billy club deftly, and they handcuffed the bum. But if they had one, (The Runt), on them, they wouldn’t have had to take any punishment.”
Just checkin in,
Rhino
It is very strange isn’t it?
85 New Yorkers have been killed with baseball bats, and hundreds more with 2 x 4′s, pipes, bricks, rocks, and all manner of accoutremonts, but the state of NY outlawed stun guns. Go figure. And their gun law, supposedly the toughest in the nation after Washington, D.C., hasn’t stopped anybody who wants a gun from getting one.
Oh…you can get pepper spray…from a licensced pharmacist. That is the law and it has to be one of the weirdest ever. New Yorkers have to do the same thing as Canadians, buy while on vacation.
If you’re prepared, you’ll never be surprised,

Mike:
I’ve always wondered about the intelligence of politicians who think the best way to self-defense is to DISarm yourself and make yourself defenseless.
I’ve always wondered about the way the California law is written: (“anything that can be projected at a person in such a way as to make him uncomfortable). Was that specifically directed at tear gas guns and pepper sprays? They SAY it covers guns, but it covers tear gas and pepper sprays, too, making those who want to defend themselves unable to do so without resorting to something illegal.
I’ve become an expert at making defensive weapons out of just about anything at hand, but our products carry that one step further, until the politicians come to their senses (if ever).
