He showed us his sap and shot-filled gloves (this was a long time ago!
), metal-lined "leather" ticket book, baton, etc. The thing that stuck with me most was his demonstration that you don't need any specialized "weapon", when anything at hand will do: he pulled the Cross pen out of his pocket and stabbed a phone book with it. (Well, it was a stack of phone books... as I said, it was a small town: we only used three digits for phone numbers.)
