I would adivse caution in this type of thing. Let me explain brifly why. In 1991 I was a police officer. I made a traffic stop late one night on a 19 year old kid that had a similar item as a gear shift knob. Without details, he made a sudden move toward this item after being warned 2 times to be still. I, with a lifetime of regret, shot, and killed this poor man over a "novilty" item when he failed to obey my instructions. He was just a nervous kid that had a little pot in his car and was having a difficult time concentrating. Though it was ruled as a "clean shoot" (in cop lingo that means I was found to be within the limits of my capacity of a peace officer given the scenario) both his family and I suffer from a gag type item. Todays times make this even worse. If you choose something like this, PLEASE use caution. Sorry to have to have shared this with any of you but I thought this was a good thread to do so on.
