This morn I broke the law; I went out for a stroll carrying a walking stick.
I did so with the deliberate intention of defending myself against a savage dog if one should attack me.
In Australia it is an offence to possess anything for the purpose of self defence.
Fortunately I was not attacked so reverted to being just another old guy with a walking stick.

Self Defence is not only a right, it is an Obligation.
