I went to the local truck stop for something last night and noticed an item for sale that looked for all intents and purposes like an old time police billy club. It was about 18" long with a groved handle and lanyard loop. On the side it plainly said
"USE AS A TIRE THUMPER ONLY."
Does anybody really use these things to thump tires? I did a little searching and found this:

Evidently the police in some states concider them illegal concealed weapons if they are within reach or under the seat.
