Cowboy,
Buy what you can afford and take yer chances. I work part-time as a deputy sheriff and we don't have the leeway you seem to think on weapons. We aren't authorized to carry blackjacks or brass knuckles at all. Carrying any kind of "fighting knife" (e.g. double edged) on duty is like asking for administrative reprimand. We can carry batons and pepper spray only after completing the required training in their use. We can carry only the specific handgun(s), subject to dept. regs, with which we qualified. We are authorized to use dept. long guns only if we complete qualification.
I question your apparent fascination with handcuffs. How were you proposing to handcuff the owners of the cars you were attempting to repo? Angry people tend to resist being cuffed. Sometimes they have to be pepper sprayed and/or struck with a baton or otherwise subdued first. Were you going to do one or more of those things first?
Also, why do you keep attempting to make this a North/South thing? You whiff very stongly of troll, IMO.
