Are you knot saying it's illegal?

The knot itself, the monkey's fist is perfectly legal. The problem is that slungshot are illegal in many places. Whether anyone likes this or not, it's a fact. Everyone should educate himself and make choices and accept the consequences of those choices.

@@jafferrer2274 it's knot. 👀

If you have it as a keychain or necklace don't tell the officer that you have it due self defence it's "decorative" because the California penal code doesn't expressively states this unless the law changed in the passed two years. The same fits with those long nylon straps that turns your keys into a deadfall are legal because they allow your to attach your keys to your belt and put them in your pocket after expressively stated to be legal. This is CA penal code I found at a law office website and maybe different in New York which states that and monkey's fist has to be in a hollow or wooden core to not be considered as a sap.

Crimes are caused because people need better options. Our system creates criminals and gives them not better option than to become criminals. Beating up and arresting starving and homeless people does not make you a better person or make us safer. We need better social programs to rehabilitate people who have been in the system. We also need better options for people so they do not end up in the system to begin with.

lots of good info, but the FBI's database actually shows that knives and hammers make up the majority of armed assaults. Yeah guns are much more effective at killing so generally a gun assault will be a homicide, but only focusing on that data is misleading, because guns are much less frequently used in crime than is often stated and almost all of the gun crime is congregated in major cities with a heavy gang presence. Also "guns" broadly used is misleading anyway because specifically pistols are used in almost all gun crimes. rifles (this includes bolt, lever, semi-auto, and even full auto 'assault weapons') AND shotguns combined make up less than 2 % of all gun crimes. Lastly, before the CDC censored the statistics per the current gov't admin, CCL and open carriers were shown to save more lives (estimated at around 2 million assaults were avoided yearly just by carrying, and around 800,000 cases where a self defense case went in the victims favor) every year than were taken by gun violence meaning guns are a net positive to society at large. Not sure how much longer the FBI data will be up, or if it is already censored (i downloaded the page myself for reference purposes after the CDC deleted their part) but definitely look into that. If you include all assault the big triad is hammers, knives, and unarmed attacking (specified as hitting with fists or with foot as there is a breakdown of which part of the body is used as a weapon, but over 90% of it ends up being your hands and feet).

@@kevinmunger1842, " the monkey fist was a rubberized projectile from firearm" Sounds more like you saw a GMG shoot that rubber during an unrep. I started out as a deck ape on LST 1189 and when mooring we always threw a monkey fist to the guys on the pier. I was a GMG2 on BB63 and I was the one who fired the rubber projectile to the AO since the ship was decommed in 1955. Even on the Mo deck dept threw monkey fist to the guys on the pier.

Not illegal in Georgia actually. It's a weapon, so it's protected by the 2A.

was actually thinking they'd make great fidget toys. Could easily make one with lighter material that shouldn't qualify under the legal definition of "slungshot". Put something light inside, like foam or a super ball

I can't find anything about it being illegal in Colorado, so it might just be illegal on airplanes. Also, the TSA will even steal nice ballpoint pens under the claim they are a weapon, so TSA's word on what is or isn't a weapon isn't always to be trusted. EDIT: Oh! Apparently these are called Blackjacks in Colorado and are illegal, but a proper medieval morningstar (which this is basically a small version of) would NOT be illegal.

​@@ovni2295 while they may be illegal under Colorado law I'm pretty sure most airports within the US are considered federal land and therefore abide by federal standards.

wow crazy to hear they actually kind of enforced this very niche law. And here I thought the TSA was useless!

they are not illegal if they are made with something like a Styrofoam ball or a ping pong ball. If made with a large marble or a steel ball however, ILLEGAL, as they are now considered a weapon, and they can inflict a lot of damage, even to the point of killing the receiver of the impact.

@@lesliemiller5790 You may want to qualify that as "In Canada" or "In the US". Unless you are carrying the Monkey's fist knot home from work as a longshoreman, you would be hard pressed to convince ANYONE you were not preparing to defend yourself or prepping for a planned "rumble". The Monkey's Fist Knot is NOT illegal by ordinance or law in the United States. It is a tool for longshoremen or sailors. Like any other tool, if misapplied, it can be seen as a weapon of opportunity and then seen as a bludgeon. It's is illegal to use it as a bludgeon in an offensive manner. If you are attacked, and defend yourself with one, if you fear for your life, you may or may not be charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

I'm guessing the specific people who are okay with guns are probably fine with these too.

It's not illegal in the USA.

We do have our problems.

They aren't illegal, it's a clickbait title.

@@DeepestOfNutts buckle up Kyle 🌬️🕯️🧸🕯️🙂

It's arbitrary bullcrap. Likely since they couldn't nail any crimes on gangs that used these, they banned the weapon so they could catch a few suspects under possession charges and they would proceed to threaten them with ludicrous fines or jail time if they didn't put anything useful to the table, or maybe just as a way to increase arrests to give the illusion something was being done to combat crime. This temporary solution became a permanent law as noone bothered to come back to it. Alternatively, just like nunchucks, more contemporary politicians had watched too many movies and banned the "scary" weapon.

I'm an arborist and we use what I call a "throw line" to toss over a crotch in a tree to pull climbing rope. Many guys use a bean bag. I use a monkey fist around a 2.25" cast lead sphere. I never thought about it being a weapon as I just carry a Kimber 10mm. I have accidentally hit myself with it before. It's no joke.

Noone sensible would think of a 12" cast iron pan as a weapon either, but survive getting hit by one narrow-side-on and you'll quickly reconsider. Life is filled with things that aren't weapons only because noone uses them as such.

I was in the Coast Guard and we had heaving line with monkeys fist too. We used golf balls as weights.

No, a Blackjack is a lead weight, on the end of a stiff 6 or 7 inch spring, covered with a flat leather braid. I have my fathers 1938 Wash State Patrol blackjack in the gun safe.

I have a few blackjacks from that time, maybe a little before as they came from a grandfather who served in the 30s and 40s but are leather straps with what feels like a metal bar at the end. I would guess different things were used by the army and police maybe but all called blackjacks..

​@georgeedward602 I've generally seen round handed versions called "blackjacks" and flat versions called "saps" but I'm sure there's a lot of cross-over in the terminology.

​@@joseph1150 But don't take it for granted it's "normal" to carry a knife. Just like in many places (or everywhere) in this world, laws are complicated, if not stupid at times. TL;DR: It's up to the judges if you are fine carrying a knife/monkey fist/self defense weapons or if you'd be charged/jailed for it. Yes, it's a legal roulette. From what some websites discuss about the current situation of knife carrying: yes, there's a clear limit on how big of a blade you can carry around: 10 centimeters, or 4 inches, you can't Michael Myers on the streets. But... There's the whole thing about an article that forbids "carrying weapons without authority permission", from 1941. The article is so old, the prescribed fine is on a currency that doesn't exist anymore, but is relevant to how the justice system will judge you. And the thing is that there's no such a thing like a "knife license" in Brazil, therefore, theoretically, you don't need authority permission to carry one, granted it is less than 10cm (4 inch) long. Some places even mention knives are not legally "weapons", but tools, and should be fine to be carried. However some mentions it needs to be taken into context for what the knife was meant to be used for. For example, if I was carrying a kitchen knife because I was just cooking something is a different case to carry a pocket knife meant to stab at someone. So, if that "stabbing someone" is because I don't want to die, should I still be persecuted? Each judge will have a different answer, and some will say it is a valid cause and not illegal, others will say it's meant for aggression, therefore you need to be charged for it. I talked primarily about knives, but change the "knife" part and put the monkey fist, basically a bearing ball on a string, meant to bludgeon someone in the forehead. On theory, you should be fine to carry one as long as you don't threaten others, but in practice it is complicated, and depends if the judge is fine with self-defense or not.

@@marcelo90z I personally think that a judge not believing in the right of self defense should be barred from ever practicing law or being involved in any public job or office ever. But yeah, Brazil's legal system is a mess just like most places.

my thought exactly. the best tool for popping tempered glass car windows is a ResQMe tool, but the best improvised tool is a spring loaded center punch from the hardware store.

A@@kenbrown2808 A couple of spark plugs could substitue for the ball.

I'd love to see testing done as well, however I do have to say, while yeah, sharp points or at least more focused tips/points work great for breaking glass, be it car windows or whatever. I think if you swing a sledgehammer at a car window, your overall results will basically be the same. Maybe a dented B Frame or whatever, but still broken window. Because it's not necessarily just a point that break them. The benefit of a point at that (unintended) point, isn't because it's simply pointed. Items that are used that way, often aren't very heavy. They're usually quite light, and in plenty of cases, require several hits to properly function. That's not a bad thing, just something to note. Now, imagine swinging that hammer or sledgehammer. It has not only momentum, but some added weight. It's going to likely break the glass in one hit. Not only is the item itself probably enough, but the extension of your arm Carrie's it all event further/harder. So realistically, I'd say these could easily bust a car window. Its weighted (or can be), it can have varying weights, all dependent on the users choice. And it's basically just a less accurate hammer swing. Sure, slightly bigger surface area because of the ball, but then again remember, a ball doesn't have a square head/face. Its "pointed" kind of. Just more round. The cordage you use could change things though. Heavy thick rope on a smaller ball/object may be more of a cushion, but paracord is not really going to damper that honestly. Not enough to completely stop it from being effective. Least I would think so. And as far as a weapon goes, this would be like the midway point between knife/stabbing object, and a board or bat or something. Similar to a hammer. That's off topic but since the idea of this is "oh it's a weapon", that's something to look at too.

Yes, that is the reason i know it. If you have a crack to place it in and don't have big enough friends or most notable this climbing area in the Czech Republic where the sandstone is too soft to use metal safety like friends or wedges etc.

The thing to remember is that these laws are never made with any kind of underlying tactical logic. They're made because someone with influence either (A) had a personal hate for something, (B) wanted to look like he was "doing something" about some alleged problem, or (C) wanted to manipulate some business for his own profit. Then the proposed law gets filtered through a bunch of politicians, who tinker with the wording, add unrelated "riders", negotiate back and forth for favors and bribes, and finally reach a result none of them hate too badly.

Good story. In New Zealand, if you use self defense force, you are normally charged even if your actions are well intentioned and lawful. Particularly if there is any injury or anything spectacular involved. But you do the 'not guilty' plea, and get a trial in front of 12 citizen peer jurors........ 99.5% of genuine cases would be found 'not guilty'. But you have to put up with the arrest and processing, and months of stress waiting for the legal process. But you have to be genuine, and not have used excessive force, given the prevailing circumstances........ and you are acting in self protection or protection of another mode. And then you get off !!!! Costs you thousands in lawyers fees...... so in NZ don't defend anyone........ just let it be a police problem.

We actually have instances in history when martial arts were illegal to practice in certain countries. It just depends what is currently a fad in legislature. And there are laws about martial artists getting into the fight. Depending on circumstances you may be prosecuted more severely if you are a martial artist and you harm another person.

Because weapons are force multipliers. And because locking up/executing everybody who knows how to fight. Makes it very obivous that a goverement intends to do harm to the public. And makes it easier to convice their henchmen and guard-dogs to hurt the people that the goverement points at. Because they know their is no chance they will get hurt while carring out their evil orders.

You're being pedantic about it. No the knot itself isn't illegal, but if you tie one with a weight in the ball, and attach it to something that could be used to swing it as an impact tool it's considered illegal in the applicable states/countries because it can be used for blunt force trauma. They're not illegal to own, but they're illegal to carry in public in certain states in the US, and in other countries. It has more to do with how government officials see it, and less to do with it's uses. Some states prohibit carrying spring assisted knives, and balisongs, (butterfly knives) too. This is because politicians have stigmatized them based on what they know about those knives, and the idea that they're "usually" used by criminals. Which, of course, is false. It doesn't matter how you feel about it, or if you have benign intentions for it, if it's deemed illegal by the state you're in you'll go to jail for carrying it no matter what.
