<li class="list_item" style="padding:0 0 0 1em;margin:0;margin-left:1em"><span><strong>White canes are not designed for self-defense.</strong> These tools are specifically created for mobility, and their structure is not built with self-defense in mind. Using them with excessive force could cause them to break, leaving you without a vital tool for navigation.<br><br></span></li>
<li class="list_item" style="padding:0 0 0 1em;margin:0;margin-left:1em"><span><strong>It's disrespectful to those who fought for our right to use white canes.</strong> The availability and public acceptance of white canes were hard-won battles for the blind community. Using them as weapons dishonors the efforts of those who fought for our right to use these devices freely in public spaces.<br><br></span></li>
<li class="list_item" style="padding:0 0 0 1em;margin:0;margin-left:1em"><span><strong>Using white canes as weapons could jeopardize our right to use them.</strong> White cane laws currently protect users' rights to access public spaces, but misconceptions about their use persist. If white canes become associated with violence, these laws could be weakened or rolled back, making life more difficult for those who rely on them.</span></li>
