Is this similar to the brass knuckles, I mean “belt buckles”, they sell in shady gas stations? Or the tobacco shops who sell pipes for anything but tobacco? As long as they don’t say it’s for illegal use it’s a gray area.
I remember the time I was looking shaggy and walking out the door of a supermarket from the wrong direction with a large open-topped bag (and no stolen goods) and the manager of the store, who looked like a detective from a 1970s movie, followed me out on my heels holding a big clipboard which I suspect he would have whacked me with if I'd given him any trouble and later would claim that he was just holding a clipboard and I got hit my mistake.
