    It's an umbrella, can't see why it would be against the law:confused:

    They are brilliant and even fit in your hand luggage if you are flying off anywhere

    Well since there's no law against looking really really geeky then I'd say it's ok to carry one.

    Ive seen a couple of stories where SWAT have shut down malls in the states and came in with rifles to arrest a chap with one.

    The Fashion Gardai would be picking you up from the bottom of a stairwell before the day is out.

    That's nothing. I've seen stories where fire breathing dragons terrify the populace and stuff. Useless to me anyway, too supersticious. No chance of using it indoors.

    I fantasise about owning a light sabre, but its kind of lucky for the general public and my family that I don't.

    looks cool but you would get lifted pretty fast walking through the streets with it.

    No chance of it lifting you no matter how strong the wind was, it would just turn inside out.
