Nice pic Dre! I love that Stanley Demolition tool!
I think the hammer/t-shirt idea is a great one for the folks in Texas/other states that prohibit OC.
I have, on many occasions, OC'd a hammer for work, and sometimes for self defense when I had a reason not to carry my gun. I have had probably 15x more reactions to knives with blades longer than 8" riding on my hip than I have to hammers. People just don't care about hammers, but you get a lot of questions with knives like "dude, is that a sword on your hip?" This gives you the perfect chance to engage them in a conversation if you want. In my honest opinion, I think that someone who didn't respect hammers as dangerous would think you were a weirdo, and someone who did would think you were a dork, assuming they got the point.
But a legit tomahawk, and not something that looks designed to build houses, that might get the point across.
