Sheeple have a hard time with anything that does not have that warm-fuzzy look. Your stick is not very warm, nor very fuzzy,, in their eyes.
Personally it looks good,, But I'm not your lane grader...
Suggestion, Get a cheap aluminum walking cane (c ref) from the local Salvation Army store(substitute store of choice). Maybe Aunt Wilma has a spare?
The hollow, telescoping style. Fill it with lead shot or pennies, or other suitable weight.
It might not draw as much attention to your endeavors..
Ruck on..

instead of those American flag ends, you should have put some sickle and hammers or a crescent moon and all would have been right in the world! Silly nationalist!

I did the same thing - three 36" lengths of 5/8 rebar weighs within a pound or so of my FAL's weight.
I've had no complaints, but I live in AL, so I probably could just run with the FAL and it'd be ok....

I seriously doubt it was the "stick". It was the ruck and your moving with a purpose - it scares the sheep. You were doing something outside their exeperiential zone and they therefor feared you.
Concur on wrapping it in GILBERT colors - you won't have an issue. If they DO stop you they will be fearful of offending a "member of the tribe" and will most likely let you carry on.

What JOKER said Jakedeep, Walk with it again. I would say just use PVC End caps in lieu of that tape. This happened in Cleveland, OH too??!!
If you really want to camouflage the "Freedom Stick," I say get a old gold umbrella and use the brella part as a covering. IMO you are carrying a piece of PVC Piping, WTH OVER!!

I'd go back with the same stick and two friends with cameras and audio who are taping you at a distance.
I'd have also told the cop to fuck off after he told me to leave, but that's just me.
We don't have those problems here in Arizona, we carry real guns almost anywhere we please.
When you're in the right never back down.

Prior to shipping out, I rucked around the 'hood quite a bit and usually brought my dutch shepherd along for the ride. Knowing that I live in a residential area surrounded by Navy folks (near Millington, TN) the idea that I would stick out like a sore thumb was obvious to me - after all, how many sailors do you see rucking??? Especially in a land-locked navy base! lol
I contacted my local LEOs and advised them where I would be training, what I would be wearing and when I would be there. I wasn't doing this as a form of submission to them. I did that because I was honestly terrified of getting shot by one of them. To their credit, they were cool as hell and one even offered to let me borrow an M4 trainer to simulate full battle rattle.

A little out of my lane here, but......Just go with a white stick, with about a three inch red tip. Wear really dark sun glasses, and think Stevie Wonder. For added effect, tape one to each fender of your car, keep the sun glasses on while driving; more Mr. Wonder .
