1: Easily used as a costume prop. Even a walking stick if I want one for whatever reason.
2: I am somewhat familiar with poles, and I feel my secure in my ability to use one (and safety in doing so) than I would with a gun (which terrifies me, and I'm not saying why).
3: Weighs less than the likes of a halberd. I require mobility or I might as well just hack off the blade end and use the pole.

Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
