I'll have to check our laws regarding whips...Pennsylvania has some odd laws on some weapons!

Not a bad idea, I cant use a slingshot in the city limits, but I can carry a whip and open carry a bowie knife.
I also make and use the david sling, I can throw a 3 ounce stone around a 150 yards. Kinetic energy is about a medium pistol round. 3ounce rock @100 mph. (lead sinkers are even better) You have to be dedicated to practice to get accurate with one. I have been practicing for 5 years and can hit beer cans @100ft. Never twice in a row but about 75% of throws at that range would make a man size target very nervous. I don't use the multiple rotatin depicted in the video. I make 1 3 quarter rotation.

When I said medium pistol round power, I was not pulling your leg. Look how the slingstones shatter on rock, much less the destruction of the melons.

What bit you,a dog or a mountain lion?

Dog can't remember type some sort of snow dog, broke several bones and caused severe muscle damage, mountain lions always leave me alone.

Fun fact: gladiator armor has been found with puncture wounds from bears and tigers going thru the plate armor

Fun fact: a good longbow can hit with more force than a .357 magnum and shots with great bows over 1000 yards are not unheard of (in wars some bows shot rounds over 3000 yds, but this was in a volley).

Kangaroo leather whips are considered the best whips,and yes they can go thru fingerbones.

out here you can legally carry about anything, many bicyclist carry either subcompacts sidearms or a variety of samurai swords, no one makes a big deal of it.

Throwing knives are one of my favorite non fire arm playthings, used to be able to hit targets at 150 yards.

That is the same thing that is going on here with New Jerseyans and others moving into the state with their viewpoints and slowly changing the way that things have been for generations.
