Hell yeah on the sledge hammer man! Have two 10 pounders, one in my closet the other in the back floor board of my car. Once was searched when I was 20, cops asked about it; told them it was for working out (along with my jump ropes, boxing hand wraps and multiple running shoes) --- they were cool and had nothing to say about all the beer I was illegally in possession of. Awesome, awesome tool and later, weapon.
