When I was in the military a few years ago (about 9 )Carabiners were being used as improvised brass knucks by a few of my friends without much notice. But, as climbing equipment,and the cheap knock off key chain caribiners came more readily available to the general public, alot of people caught on to the trick, including some State Legislatures for amending them to the Penal Code as Brass Knuckles.

In other words as is said elsewhere on the board, if you carry a Carbiner and think the cops or people won't catch on to what it's other use is besides climbing, think again your wrong.
