Looks like you screwed with the wrong old man today, punk. I may look grey and infirm, but I'm packing a million volts of incapacitating, jaw-clenching self-defense. Or offense! This grandpa's crazy! The Zap Cane also has a flashlight. Beware!

In case you're actually in need of a cane for non-shock attack reasons, the Zap Cane is adjustable from 32 to 36 inches, and can support up to 250 pounds. The thought of a 250 pound person waving around a million volt stun gun is terrifying and incredible. Especially if the built-in LED flashlight is also turned on.

2. Mine would have terrorized the dogs
One day with that in the house and the dogs wouldn't have gotten on this couch anymore.

3. Hmm, 90 bucks.
A decent sword cane costs that much.

6. Might also be helpful in picking up doggie waste at night
Those little baggies are hard to open, necessitating removal of winter gloves, and a slight delay in the purposeful walking of pet, which might be an opportune moment for an attacker/animal (one in same?) to strike....hmmmm...

9. Canes are notorious. We had an old gentleman in the family who
would position himself near a often used doorway so he could swat the kids with his cane when they ran through. It became a game of who could get by him fast enough so they would not get a swat.
