I had an uncle that wouldn't go walking without brass knuckles and a chain because he was scared of getting mugged.

He lived in the most upper class suburban neighborhood I've ever seen but the conservative talk shows had just poisoned his mind, he was afraid of everything.

I had some and tried them on a tree. Those HURT. I dunno if I just got crappy ones but I can't see using them. FWIW armored gloves do just as much damage and don't fuck your fingers up.

there's probably a right way to use them, and several wrong ways. as with most things, it requires training. also, punching a tree is probably not a great idea.
