    Never, repeat, NEVER show anyone a weapon. The only time they should see it is when you are using it to defend yourself. Showing a weapon, or talking about it, only gives someone a chance to devise a defense.

    Some states like California, Michigan, Illinois, and Vermont prohibit the possession, sale, or use of brass knuckles, in addition to devices that look like brass knuckles (e.g., plastic knuckles). Other states, like South Carolina, make possession of brass knuckles illegal only if "they are used with the intent to commit a crime."

    Some states only ban metallic knuckles, while others ban hardened knuckles of any kind. Materials used to make hardened knuckles include brass, steel, hard plastics, and acrylic.

    Although the possession of a pair of brass knuckles is generally a misdemeanor crime in states where they are against the law, using brass knuckles in a violent crime can lead to felony charges.

    I'm not a fan of brass knuckles, but I am a firm believer in guns, and every decent, law-abiding person needs to be ARMED.

    Yes, you could easily get in trouble.

    If you scare them and they have a knife and you have only brass knuckles, you could be in big trouble.

    Most states have made them illegal. If you're going to use them use them then get the f*ck out of there.
