This is one of a number of interesting essays listed on "Savate - The Australian Home page". It describes the use of clothing and other apparel as defensive weapons, in the event of a surprise attack. These techniques were originally developed for use against French gangsters, known as "Apaches".

I still prefer the martial arts style of the great master, "Cha Ching."

Pull out your M-1911, chamber a round "Cha Ching," and even before you start shooting everyone knows a can of whoopass got opened.

Yep! "Cha Ching" rules! If only it was more available to civilians (other than Ted Nugent that is).

I recommend all American citizens exercise their Second Amendment rights. Take classes, the NRA has great ones on firearms safety as well as how to shoot. Get a Concealed Weapons Permit in the states that offer them.

Our forefathers saw the need for an armed populace, and the world's only gotten to be a more dangerous place.

The "French Apache" brass knuckle gun from 1865
The "French Apache" was a French gang in the 1800's known for using these kinds of weapons. It's double action and fires antique 7mm pinfire ammunition which is no longer being made. The handle, trigger, and knife blade can fold down to form brass knuckles.
