The Smallest Minority

Don't forget the Stalney FuBar

That's... strangely tempting, for something I don't really need.

Watch out Kevin! It's an evil black "assault axe."

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how you mount an optic on it.

Optic? Shouldn't you just go for the laser?

We still can't figure out what the hole is for, but we've sustained several minor injuries while engaged in daily "SPAX madness."

According to the bits I've read, the hole is there just to lighten the weight.

Odd shape for that, though. You think it would just be round.

I think I'd prefer a firefighter's axe, myself.

It looks as if the hole WAS round on early versions. The hole is now a very specific shape, and it's really intriguing.

We've been telling people they don't have sufficient security clearances to be told what it's actually for.

So far as I can tell, it's a 1 handed fire ax. I could certainly use one, I live in one of the world's few *temperate* rainforests... southern edge of the Big Thicket.

Thanks for the post. I just ordered one, because...well just because.

Like I tell my wife when she says I don't need another gun, it ain't a question of need, it's a question of want.

The Hole is the right shape to fit the odd (5 sided) bolts on fire hydrants. I am a city engineer and carry one with me for that reason (don't really need it but it looks cool) and is handy for lifting manholes.

And it looks like the slot part of the hole would fit gas mains, too.

I thought it was just to hang the entrails of your victims through.

Why do I have a sudden desire to grow out a beard, braid it, don some fur accented clothing and raid the English coast?

Check your state and local weapons-in-cars laws, but around here, this is not a prohibited weapon in a vehicle. It would slip just perfectly into the pickup door "pocket", where it could be cradled by some sort of padding to stay in place.

If you have to defend yourself in VERY close quarter combat, less than an arm's length, this axe beats all forms of batons, knives and anything but a gun. Of course, unlike the gun, it also has rescue-tool utility as well.

And if you are given grief over a "weapon" in your car, you can legitimately make the claim that it is NOT a weapon, it's safety equipment.
Like the trucker I knew that, when he found out a commercial driver with a firearm in his truck was subject to a mandatory year in jail if caught with it in New York, looked up the legal definition of "firearm", went to a marine supply house and bought a flare pistol.
It's not a firearm, it's safety equipment. But I'd rather take a slug from damn near anything than be shot with a magnesium flare.

Implying there are times when you don't have that urge? How odd...

Man, I really like that, but it's a bit spendy for a hatchet...

Mine will be here next Monday.
