More often than not, a get-back whip is used just to display club color, the reason it comes in a multitude of colors.
Some of y'all need to learn to not be so offended by things...just about everything we carry can be used as a weapon.

"IPMC and Chapter events are intended to promote safe activities that will appeal to the membership as a whole."

yeah......right.........confronting angels in a bar with weapons is promoting safe activities. Once again I say you can't paint all the IP's with the same brush as these azzholes just like LEO's shouldn't paint all the 1%ers with the same brush just because SOME of them are bad apples.....mind you....according to the letter of the laws that the government is trying to pass..wouldn't the IP's and BK's and other such LEO clubs be considered a criminal organisation and a "gang" if they have more than 3 people dressed alike?
If the government makes it illegal to be a memebr of an MC wouldn't their MC's have to be disbanded as well?.....ummmmmmm

You are a man of great perception. The ultimate poser. Most club members wouldn't even show them the respect of even acknowledging they are even there if they encounter them anywhere. I'm not stating an opinion, that's just the way it is. Oh, and as far as a get back whip being used as a weapon, that's like bringing a knife to a gunfight. Swing it and the first thing that happens is you get it taken away from you. Again not an opinion, just reality.

Just an accessory? If I'm carrying a firearm is it just an accessory? The intended use is what the issue is. If he's not going to use it for what it's designed for than that's posing. To me, having a whip as a fashion accessory is as dumb as carrying a squirt gun in a holster when riding around, or slinging a fake shotgun across your back. I don't care who poses and who doesn't I was just surprised that someone representing a law enforcement group would be carrying a possible illegal weapon.

My Kimber is an accessory. I even have different grips depending on what color shoes I wear that day. For instance, it's after labor day. Therefore, I don't wear white shoes or use the ivory grips.

And yes its an accessory, you've got a very loose definition of weapon. I guess by your standards, I'm a weapon since I'm trained to kill a man with my bare hands and have practiced that art. No not bragging but that's what we teach in hand to hand combat. Many cops receive the same training so...
Yeah its a little assinine to bring it up but come on. Its a piece of leather... its not a weapon. A weapon would be that 9mm they probably have stashed in a bag or on their back or a fixed blade (in GA longer than 5").
And what is a whip designed for? Someone mentioned things other than a person or a car. Its just a whip. Posing... worry about it too much and you might want to look in the mirror.

You don't know much about the military do you? I'm not going to go anywhere with it other than that but you left it open when you define a whip as a weapon.
And no I'm not SF... laugh away, your assumptions and opinions ... [removing my earlier personal attack, I apologize, but call it like I see it]
And no, I'm not saying I've killed someone with my bare hands, "practice" and "execution" are quite different.
