> Do people walking on foot carry torches?

I find a flashlight and a small pocket knife are essential every day carry. It's a quality of life issue for me, I want to be able to examine something at any time of day, plus street lights are intermittent and I walk a lot. I live in Oakland, a major city, but still insist on turning on a flashlight when I cross the street. People don't pay enough attention.

In Britain we imprison people for carrying butter knives

I'd be carrying more than a pocket knife as essential in Oakland, lately.
