Traveling With A Tactical Pen, Can I Bring It On A Plane? 

Full Blog Post With Links And More Info: coachhelder.com/traveling-with-a-tactical-pen/

I own two All steel.. zebra pens.. these are my tactical pens as they don't look tactical at all so they fly into the radar.. something else you can bring with you is a heavy padlock... And a bandana.. slide the bandana through the shackle of the padlock once you're off the plane.. you can then swing the padlock like a bludgeon... A heavy wooden cane is another tactical self-defense implement.. you don't need a doctor's note you can even just say you sprained your ankle if asked about it.. I picked up a super heavy duty wooden cane at tractor supply.. it can be used to jab with or swing at a perpetrator when needed

Traveled international for 40 years now. The advice about not drawing unwanted attention is the best of all. Dilution of assets that could be seen as tactical is excellent but even not wearing a black windbreaker and a wearing a huge black G Shock shock watch……respect for authority. Yes ma’am yes sir etc goes a looooong way. In Africa, Central America and Europe….at least to my experience…….if you have a tac flash with an aggressive bevel that unscrews…..unscrew it and put it in with electronic gizmos far away from the flashlight itself too…..

Been carrying mine for over 5 years in my backpack for many flights. Was confiscated last week by TSA. No explanation

Pro Tip: Carry a small note book, and actually write in it.

Wow, yeah I agree. Don't stand out. Mix your rebel pen with your other stuff, and by all means use the rebel pen! My Swat pen isn't likely to work and I agree with that.

You make fantastic points. But you can do maybe not the same but relatively good damage with a regular pen or just a regular flashlight. Or try a nut on a string. Before you get to the airport you separate the nut from the string. put the nut in one bag the string in the other that looks very unsuspicious. If they ask you why you have the nut in your bag you say hey I forgot it was in there. the string in the other bag I've gotten through TSA thousands of times like that. it's one of the best self defense weapons you crack somebody in the head with a nut on a string you're doing damage.

Thanks. Well-presented and helpful for a new t. pen carrier.

I have an atomic bear pen coming for my son (defender) it suits his likes, my ex his mom (Rebel) because its sleek business looking style suits her work position. For myself since i drive all day for a living and am exposed to dirt, grease oil etc and i interact with customers and occasionally law enforcement i got the Stealth pro for its discreet and unassuming design that fits the environment I'm in. In my area anything at all carried for the purpose of self defense is considered a prohibited weapon and a person could be charged. Thats why i love these pens, all three of us can legitimately and honestly say its meant first and far most as a writing implement and for emergency extraction if breaking a window is necessary. Although i have no desire to leave my country all your points are ones i have held since i was young when looking for a pen i liked to use, they had to be solid and feel good in the icepick grip.

Thats Like an umbrella, you can Take it nearly everywhere ndnuse it greatly For selfdefense

Love your video. Thank you. I am a former ex Federal cop. You always take your chance that it can be confiscated. Either you go to an airport or a Federal builing. Pro tip - long lines, busy time is in your favor. Also, look at a TSA agent, if he /she looks so serious or dedicated - take a diff line.

Traveled to Japan. Made it there fine. On return trip, was confiscated at customs in Canada. Just letting everyone know.

I have a Universal permanent marker repacked with G10 to a sharp point. Open the cap and it looks just like a felt tip. I haven’t found a less conspicuous option. That said… it’s not a pen… it has one pokey function. (CRKT pen is pretty sleek, not too tactical looking, but the branding is a give away. Maybe that Rebel brand is less well known.)

All great tips , thanks RGW in NC

Thank you for your helpful video, Sir.

Thanks for sharing your experience sir.

Short answer no. Otherwise known as how I lost my James Williams crkt pen.

All great tips , thanks

Airport security confiscates all tactical pens! I lose mine as well when gone to Israel. It's not worth the risk for a branded tactical pen!

Pen as self defense and goruck as shield with panel insert.

Was that the Batalha Monastery at 00:30? If it isn't someone else make a copy of it. 😁

Don't ask. Don't tell. It's a pen. It writes.

I’m planning to buy a tactical pen so I want to ask if it is legal to have it in the UK?

Point on commentary

You forgot about having spare refill for it just in case it wouldn't function when you need to write...

I carry a pen and flashlight attached to parachord

IS THE NITECORE NTP31 LEGAL FOR AIR TRAVEL? CAN I BRING IT ON MY CARRY-ON LUGGAGE?

I just use a normal steel pen with me at all times.
