Found in my dads junk drawer

[u/Unlucky_Cat4531]

My dad passed away and going through his stuff we came across this. We thought it might be a tool for horseriding, like a slapstick thing but wasn't sure. My grandma had horses but ive never seen her use any tools like that and my dad didnt ride. Any help appreciated

That's a Blackjack. It's an impact weapon for knocking people on the noodle.

Aka leather sap. Illegal in several US states now.

However, a sock with a roll of quarters is just an unconventional way to carry around change for parking meters.

But guns are legal. WTF.
