I love those paranoid right wing American "message" web sites that also by complete coincidence tend to promote or carry advertisements for guns and articles on self defense and survival.
On Sunday in a Facebook Group that I follow an American business promoted the "credit card knife" ideal for dog walkers who may be accosted whilst out walking their German Shepherd Dogs (the group) quickly follwed by an Australian and a Brit advising that if you carry a credit card with a concealed flick knife inside it (looks like a credit card but a bit thicker) then you'd likely end up in clink and anyway, what sort of idiot is going to accost someone out walking a German Shepherd ? It brought an apology from the business and a lot of questions about how could it be illegal in other country's to carry a knife for self defence to which there is little point in trying to explain because they don't really want to consider that arming yourself to the teeth when you walk the dog is a bit extreme.
Could I get nicked for carrying the Swiss Army credit card thingy then? It lacks the hooky thing for taking boy scouts out of horses' hooves but does have: tweezers, ballpoint, toothpick, nailfile, screwdriver, scissors and a knife with a massive 3.5cm blade
