No, that isn't really a shillelagh, it's too curved and wouldn't work well for an accurate strike. You need a relatively straight limb with a knurled head for one. The wood also needs to be very strong, traditionally they were made with Irish Blackwood. It's supposed to double as a walking stick.

Illegal in California. Even illegal to walk around with a cane if you don't need it.

It's a traditional Irish walking stick. Cold Steel has a version of it.

proper shillelaghs started in ireland for many of those reasons are are usually made of blackthorn wood, a fairly dense and durable wood, usually with a knob at the top (the cut from the tree proper) that is polished to show the grain. they are usually cane-staff in length as they were meant to be a just in case style weapon.
what you have is not a shillelagh. its a club and a shitty one at that. pine is a very weak wood when it comes to impacts, nothing like maple or oak, especially not blackthorn. it is too curved (wonky stress distribution that will lead to a break just above the handle). a proper shillelagh is usually fairly straight. also seems a bit short to be appropriate.
here are some pic relateds.
I have made a couple shillelaghs. I tend to use oak or ironwood for mine as i am not irish. ironwood is my favorite to use and is far denser and harder than blackthorn or oak, but does not have the unique look to it.

I know it looks funky, but believe me it has a very nicely balanced weight and I hit what I aim for (I tried it), and it is very strong--I banged it on a big rock, very solid.
I wasn't aware that it has to double as a walking stick to be a shillelagh, but this indeed is an effective fighting stick. Thanks for the info anywho.
My Canadian friend told me that nothing stops an Irishman with a shillelagh and a belly full of whisky, I kek'd.

>>33704299
Self defense with your bare hands may as well be illegal in California. Only thing left to do is escape before the rest of the country decides to nuke it.

Why are /pol/ posters such cringe? Look at that god-awful "kek" flag in the back. I bet this faggot takes it down whenever someone who isn't mommy enters the room.

I didn't say it's Canadian, it just is a thing up there. They've adopted a few things from the Irish as far as I know.

You obviously haven't read the laws in California concerning "melee weapons." If you're walking around with a cane for the purpose of self defense that is a crime. Just because you get away with shit doesn't mean it's not illegal. But please walk around with a mace you fucking tards.

During the election, /pol/ started worshiping him as Kek, after an Egyptian chaos god of the name with the form of a frog was found.
Then someone figured that if enough people wrote in their nationalities as being from "Kekistan", then it would have to be legally recognized as a people. Kinda like how some write their religion in as Jedi.

>>33705188
Alright, listen to me you degenerate negroid...

I don't care what you think about my decor and I didn't ask for your fucking response like "ha ha btw look at my kek republic flag lol plz let's talk about it". Nobody likes an attention whore and I don't try to be one. I will repeat what my thread was about in case you forgot, since you have the fucking memory of a goldfish:
A Canadian friend of mine (he's not a cuck) told me about a traditional weapon they typically have called a shillelagh (pronounced "shil-lay-lay"). There are nicely designed ones made with varnish and all but it's pretty much just a piece of a tree branch that can be used as an effective blunt weapon.
The nice thing about it is that it's legal literally anywhere in the world; you have yourself a nice, simple, go-anywhere lethal weapon (it will crack a skull) that you could be walking along with and people will just think you're collecting firewood (okay it might look a little weird in the city), because it's just a damn stick...primitive level weaponry is still weaponry after all. Of course, I'm happy to have my AR15 for when the commies come to burn my house, but this could be a great thing for europeans to carry with themselves to fend off the multiculturalism.

We were on a hike when we found this particular one (it's pine, I think). You can't see it in the pic but it's got little spikes in the head that I'm sure wouldn't go easy on whomever it hits.

Also,
>implying I even touch fucking plebbit
I know you don't like me but don't stoop to that level of insult, please.

>>33705231
You asked for the response the minute you made it more the focal point of your image than the item you apparently wanted to discuss.

>>33704416
That's not a shillelagh then, a shillelagh is a specifically Irish weapon, typically used by an old guy or common man in a historical context. Native Americans may well have their own clubs and blunt melee weapons, but they wouldn't be shillelaghs.

It's the law that talks about melee stuff, the rules on clubs is crazy, but the knife one says you can carry any fixed blade you want just on concealed. A guy with a sword on his back is ok.
