Thanks for posting this tip. As I also use a cane. A good stop is one in which no one is shot. And that can be a challenge with some of these officers. But such things make me wonder if I should spray paint my canes with the bright orange or yellow reflective paint?

If that's what you want to claim...
When at 7:30 PM and dark out, a man grabs something with a long "barrel looking" object, you damn right I could be scared.

I tell you what Mr. Macho, you come to where I live and let some of these 70 year old men take turns whacking you with a cane and we will see how "macho" you REALLY are.

Fyi- for those who use canes, Cold Steel.com makes a polycarbonate cane which looks and blends right in but has a surprise built in for people who think you're a target!

Why would he have his cane in the bed of the truck and not beside him. And why wouldn't he just tell the cop that he was getting his cane? Cops are not mind readers.
