Weird ass conversation in the waiting room at wound care the other day. Instead of a regular cane, I'm using a hiking stick to help me walk. Well, I'm in this waiting room and the other patients want to see my walking stick and I let them examine it.
You know what they all asked me?
Was it a good defensive weapon? Have I ever had to hit anybody with it? Did it have a concealed dagger in it or something?
Did I miss a briefing?

People seem to, these days, associate some old-fashioned stuff with things like this. I don't know why, but a friend has a walking stick, a decent-sized thing some meter and a half in length, and despite it being a fairly slender thing, they STILL get asked things about concealed blades ALL the time (and if my friend has ever used it to beat someone with). It's amazing. So, your experiences parallel another friend of mine out there, likely in two fairly different places (as I live in New York City, which may as well for all intents and purposes be somewhere on the surface of Mars, it's so alien to the rest of the country...)
