A LIFE CHANGER

[gwpercle]

Myself and many of my customers have flown with our Life Changers. Simply remove it with your belt and run it thru the scanner/X-ray. The worst case one customer had to empty the quarters to prove that was all that was in there. Another customer went to Disney and the security guard looked at it and said that's nothing but a perfectly shaped coin pouch...have a nice day! Like Will Dabbs, a friend traveled to London with his without any issues.

It's just a handy pouch for keeping your change out of your pockets. No more, no less.

Now that little jewel is Totally Awesome !
Christmas present for sure .

Cool idea.

Texas Star. In the The Godwulf Manuscript Spencer went into a hotel and ran into the "hotel detective" he knew who employed the roll of nickels because he confessed his hand to be to small for the quarters. or as we called them here in Boston a Quacker, when I was a kid.

Eddie G. Robinson did that once in a movie. He played a lawyer. Laid a witness out in the courtroom coming off the stand by using a roll of nickles in his fist. Don't remember the name of the flick I'm afraid.

And that doesn't even come close to the "sap gloves" manufactured by Damascus Leather Goods and others. Simple black leather gloves with either a knuckle pouch or a palm pouch filled with powdered lead. Either way, the slap or the punch was punctuated by about a half-pound of weight.

My first wife got me a pair for our first Christmas. They outlasted her and I've still got them......someplace. Memory suggests they're a wee bit tattered at one or two finger ends.

They were a wonderful, unseen assistant when you really needed one. Really dampen recoil too.

I'm more than a bit mystified at how the life changer would seem more offensive than tape wrapped coin rolls. OK, if you change them out when the paper roll gets a bit tattered they might survive a couple of strikes, but I expect that depends upon how vigorous you are. Also, where you gonna find a phone booth these days?

If you smash someone with it, wont the coins just fall out?

I think I mentioned the duct tape wrapped around the coin roll.

Didn't Moe use an iron claw on Larry's nose while Curly watched?

I saw those or something very similar at an Academy store a couple of years ago. It was in the holster section, I believe.

In Texas the carrying of Saps, Black Jacks, Batons, and other "Equalizers" is legal as of Sept 1st of this year. After being prohibited for many decades.

It is a blackjack, of course.

Mean Gene Leather also has a coin carrier of this nature. I don't know which is first.

I still have a pair of good condition sap gloves and carry them in my car. Yes, I'm old. For those who have never considered this - don't punch anyone unless you are trained as a boxer; most of us will screw it up and break a knuckle in what is known for cause as a "boxer's fracture". Do a palm heel strike.

I have a round spring loaded sap [see m75rlg post above] and a flat slapper. They were banned on duty during my employment.
I had a claw and very old handcuffs that I made a key for... turned a bolt down in my lathe and filed to fit. I donated them to a my old dept for display.

My Captain was an artist with a flat slapper... I saw him take someone down so fast the person struck swore he was hit with an open hand. (In a crowd control situation, I knew the punk was about to try something.) The slapper was up his sleeve and went into his trouser's sap pocket. His father had been a trooper in the old days...

Mean Gene Leather also makes a few different variations of the coin purse that are worth checking out.

These days even a roll of Bitcoin would be illegal to carry in CA.

" It is a perfectly shaped shaped coin pouch...Have a nice Day !"

I'm getting a "perfectly shaped coin pouch " for Christmas and will ask the wife if she would like one .
When your over the age of 60 ... you need help with your coins.

I wonder if there is a "Senior Citizen" discount ?
Us oldsters are suckers for discounts and coupons .

I'm going over to thr Barranti Leather web site and check out what's happining . Just read (American Handgunner) about there being a Barranti-Myers line of holsters ..old school is cool and looking is fun !

Early in my LEO career, I carried a "slapper" which could be used to good effect when needed. Then the liberals took control of the city.........

 

[JayFramer]

I don't know... just seems way sketchy and is just such a grey area.

I would be extremely nervous that it could be considered a concealed bludgeon. Personally I would never, ever carry one of these. In many places, carrying such things can label you a felon.

...something most jurisdictions haven't outlawed...

...4 ounce size is pretty handy...
