The point of open carrying machetes is as a widespread protest movement.
So the basic premise is the national machete org is less lethal than tbe NRA and The Dickhead cops. So many cops have a penile haircut. Enough about that. This is best worn at night but on well lit streets. Every trans queer and self IDd oddballs, neurodiverse people should be macheted up n ready to giddy-up.
Of course this should remained shealthed unless someone tries you. it's less likely with the machetes. Btw these are "ghost machetes." they're not traced. They're a deterrant. Escalate to de-escalate homie.
I tend to film cops dealing with the unhoused. These guys all have knives on them. Legally they cannot be over 2.5in and confiscation and cutting em loose seems to be the cops' play of any length. I keep a 3.5in spring assist on my keychain. If I'm going out late with low light I keep a 5in spring assist in case I fumble with the keys. That is completely concealed..
If stopped by cops explain the protest movement and if you're light enough you'll most likely get it confiscated. You might get a misdemeanor citation which may go on your record but nobody cares about misdemeanors which is what plea bargains are for .. and that's for overcharged with a felony.
Robberies tend to be point blank. You're just as likely to thwak a potential armed robber as shoot him with your traceable gun and have to deal with BS.. One thwak with the machete and if your face isn't blasted off you let someone live. Maybe get a free gun. Maybe everything stripped off you or killed. Life is a series of gambles. Don't carry near schools ..
My sketch was too coked and jittery. It says NMA: If pepper pellets and tasers are less lethal so are machetes. I got this idea off a fat $20 bag of coke. Like over 300mg
We third world now.
Edit: Structure
No more half measures Walter.
Sorry to yuck your yum a bit, but if a cop sees a machete that to them is the same as a gun. I don't know why you wouldn't just join a left wing gun club instead like the John Brown Gun Club or the SRA
suicide risk tbh. Also I'm not sure I can legally own one. Plus the cost and time to learn is a hassle. I don't wanna be caught with an illegal fireaerm. So plenty reasons.
