Re: Can civilians carry handcuffs?

I have been trained and am certified the same way LEOs are as it was part of my job. 1st thing you must realize is that it is illegal and can be considered kidknapping if you hold someone against their will. 2nd dozens of police officers are severely injured or killed every year by attempting to improperly handcuff someone because they get complacent and dont follow the procedures if someone seems to be complying. I have seen it. 3rd You are legally responsible for anyone you put handcuffs on. If that person tries to run while cuffed and falls down and suffers injury or runs into the street and gets hit by a car guess who the attorneys are coming after for hospital bills and all the other good stuff. They do have handcuffing certification courses which are very informative but do you really want that responsability? I never carry mine when im not at work.
