So you live in a commie state that hasn't enacted concealed carry laws. Or you don't like to apply for a license even in a concealed carry state. Or you lack the funds necessary to obtain a suitable firearm. Does your state or nation restrict purchases of edged weapons?
Not to worry. Thanks to the power of the Internet you can still obtain the deadliest personal weapon that does not involve gunpowder or sharp edges.
The Quarterstaff.
Â?The short staff or half pike, forest bill, partisan, or glaive, or such like weapons of perfect length, have the advantage against the battle axe, the halberd, the black bill, the two handed sword, the sword and target, and are too hard for two swords and daggers, or two rapier and poniards with gauntlets, and for the long staff and morris pike.."Buy a nice hickory one here. Learn how to use it here. Great exercise.
George Silver
