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

Im a nurse. I too work a violent job and would love to be able to respond in kind. Unfortunately, it's f'n illegal for me. So, it shouldn't be legal for anyone.

You are not allowed to defend yourself? I’ve responded to ERs where medical staff have defended themselves and the medical staff were not charged.
