They’re made specifically for 21 year olds.

Can you explain this weapon in more detail? I’ve never heard of such a tool.

Who clicked this thinking it was a gambling thread?

I hate 6/5 blackjacks as much as you. I thought this was a Las Vegas thing, but it seems like all the casinos are doing it now. Not that I am big blackjack player. I could sit at slot machine all day if I had the bankroll to do it.

I would love to have one of those. Smack people over the head like a 1920’s gangster!

If I had something like this on my person in Germany I’d be sent straight to Berlin.

My grandfather had one like the top one. Piece of leather with a big steel ball bearing embedded in it. I believe it could seriously injure someone, if not worse.

there was another similar device when those were popular, I believe it was called a palm sapper(?) leather pouch with a piece of lead in it

If that 21 yr. old was running the streets in the 1950s. And right before hitting anyone with the blackjack, he says " Why I awtta..."

Well done

One of my favorite Mitch Hedberg bits:

My friend is a blackjack dealer. He got a tattoo of an ace and jack. See I'm a blackjack player. I'm going to get a tattoo of a 10 & a 2...... and maybe later a king

Yup. Mine kept one in his car. Long black leather, flared out at the end where the metal was but it was a flat one.
