My fists! Dangerous lethal weapons honed to precision against enemies. Wapow! (Does a bad Don Knotts-esque series of badly done karate looking moves) "That's karate. I've been studying it by mail for years... My whole body's a weapon."
I do keep a bat around - just in case.
I have a tactical pen, though that's a little more for glass cutting for emergencies and whatnot... I also love hidden safes and compartments. I have a very thin hip bag for extra stuff - credit cards, etc. I may get an ankle cuff sometime soon, as summer might make hiding the hip pouch a bit trickier.
I also currently live in a safe area, I hide shopping bags, etc in my car when I'm out, I don't make anything look too appealing to grab. I have heavy backpacks, I park near lights if I'll be out at night, I rarely go past midnight, and I'm usually in the city. I keep my phone charged as much as I can. I keep my phone out, ready to dial. I sling my bags usually off the opposite shoulder, so it's a lot harder to grab and run. I check my tires, walk around the car most of the time to check and make sure no one has messed with the car to make me an easier target.
I may get some mace at some point.
Pistols, shotguns, an AR, an AK and I don't know how many cheap machetes and knives I've reshaped into sharp shit. I'd reach for my AR every time if someone decides to kick my door in.
Bats are impractical as they're very unwieldy, slow and there won't be a way to swing it inside. Plus you'll almost certainly be dealing with at least one armed assailant in a home invasion. Outside the home, the bat is even more useless as they'll strike when you're in the process of getting in or out of your car or at the ATM. It's legal in free states to carry a bat around but it'll look silly and it's easy to see coming, along with it not being very effective to immediately incapacitate an attacker. Get a Cold Steel serrated Kobin at least
The problem with weapons is that if they fall out of your hands into those of the attacker, you are in twice more trouble.
Self-defense, any form of martial arts and a firm belief in the importance of always but always getting back up.
Genuine attackers are not going to be phased by you waving a baseball bat or showing them your knife. Pepper spray, if you get the chance to use it effectively, can get you time to get away, if that's a possibility, as long as it doesn't get used against you.
Sheer flat out resistance using everything that you've got, including fingernails and teeth, is the best defense, and make as much damn noise as possible. But never stop, ever.
A stun gun, pepper spray, three different 9mm, a 40 caliber, a 45 revolver, a pink.38 special revolver, a shot gun and probably some more I'm not thinking of right now.
Just went to a gun show this last weekend to add to my collection and many more. Seeing as how police are usually 45 to 60 minutes away on a good day, some times even 90 minutes or more depending where they are.
I don't want to be trying to hide out waiting for help forever.
Oh and that is just mine, I didn't include my fiancé's stuff at all, he has his own.

Going to pick up my license to carry today. And then going to the range to get proper weapons training.
Unfortunately, most of those are illegal here in Japan but I do have a samurai short sword that my father-in-law gave me as a wedding gift. My father-in-law came from a lineage of swordsmiths.
The sword has an unusual design without a handguard since it was forged during a period when samurai swords were illegal. So it was designed to be easy to conceal.
I also have a ski mask. So if someone breaks into my house in the middle of the night, they can expect a drunk guy in a ski mask running around with a samurai sword.
I love love love all the ladies taking responsibility for their own safety instead of waiting for rescue. Keep it up, Shield Maidens!!!
My two favorite guns are in my avatar, and I work in/get a discount at a big box retail gun store…just going to leave that here.
Depending where you live depends on if the knife is legal. From my understanding in the UK there is only a certain length your allowed to carry without reason.
So you can tenchially carry longer baldes for instance a sword if you were taking it to say a blacksmith. Also the laws on knife carry is also overrode by private property from what I understand of it. As long as your on your own land a fair few don't apply either.
I have been using nunchucks since I saw Bruce Lee use them in Enter The Dragon several years ago, and am a bit tasty with them too, but my fists, feet and brain are probably the best self defence weapons I have.
Elbows are useful too but only when the assailant is already on the ropes. They're just for the killer blow so to speak.
I own multiple firearms, pocket knives. I am allowed to conceal carry a firearm, I'm a truck driver and I have one strap to my ankle and I have one on the armrest directly to my right
Multiple knives of different sizes, multiple pepper sprays, a bat, tomahawk, hatchet, enough firearms to have one loaded in every room of the house and still have some left over along with thousands of rounds of ammunition. Just 2020 year alone I spent over $5,000 on weapons. Now I am spending more on other supplies and stocking up on extra food.
A Mossberg 500 12 gauge shotgun.
OK, actually, it's Dad's but he taught all four of us how to use it. It hurts me and my littlest bro, though. I prefer the.22 rifle he also taught us all how to use. Works for me and littlest bro, too - not much recoil at all!
Currently just a knife and pepper spray as that's all the glorious Philip Dunton Murphy will allow us here 🙄 but I'd like to get lessons in probably boxing and jiu jitsu, and the next step would be getting my own concealed carry handgun once I move states.
Nothing, and never will need to like many other's here who don't nor do.
And knifes and etc you can get are decorative items to buy cause they look nice. Like blackpool has a nice shop for some knifes or swords and airsoft guns. But again these are not weapons anyone uses as weapons. Nvm for self defence.
one can of pepper spray, 4 butterfly knives, and savin' up for another knive, baton and one more knife. And may put some effort into BB guns. As a hobby, but if shot wrong, could be fatal.
But knives are my thing, if I need to kill the thing, gonna make sure the job gets done.
I used to own a pepper spray to keep in my house until it became illegal - then I bought a baseball bat because I couldn't handle the fear of being defenseless in my own home. Yay, anxiety.
I've no self defense gadges I use when out, since well - everything is pretty much illegal and I would prefer not get a criminal record and not being able to work in my field again.
Multiple firearms, though the most specialized ones for protection would be the pistol near my bed, and my concealed carry gun. I also have a pocketknife that I mainly use for work.
Beyond that... A security system, a dog, and living in an area that has almost no violent crime to speak of... But rising drug problem in the public school districts could change that pretty quickly.
A knife is a bad idea if you do not know how to use it. The blood loss caused by a knife is no-joke, and you're not the one who's going to decide wether or not you get transfused (paperwork-wise it's a nightmare)
As saying it clearly would be highly illegal, let's just say that what I always advise is in a can, it's a gas, and makes people unable to see while you run away. Why gas and not gel? Because you do not have to aim as precisely considering you'll be stressed near the breaking point. Cons? DO. NOT. BREATHE. AS. YOU. SPRAY and then RUN.
Lol. I own… 2 dogs, several knifes, 12 gauge, 45, and live in an area where I’ll probably never need them… but if I do you won’t make it out the door… even if I have to drag you back in you never made it out the door regardless the blood trail. That’s my story.
I've carried a Phillips head screwdriver with a thin shaft since grade school. It's legal, easy to use and quick.
There's one pedophile who found out the hard way how little force it takes. I was 8 and sunk it clear to the handle into that space between his neck and collar bone when he tried to drag me into his car.
I have pepper spray because the previous residents left it here. Probably by accident because it was on a top shelf and hard to spot at first.
It was funny to discover because this area used to have kind of bad reputation and still has and the poor people probably felt unsafe so they had to get a pepper spray. I've lived here all my life and never felt unsafe or needed any self defense gadgets.
1# five knives of various types, lengths and blades ( though I use them for a variety of things )
2# an actual traditionally made and very lethal sword I use for kenjustsu
3# I’m a martial artist and fighter so my body
4# everything ( I can turn a lot of things into a weapon if need be )
A gun, pepper spray, pocket knives, baseball bats, some sharp rings.
I wish I had a taser. Those are pretty cool.
In the UK there virtually NO self-defence weapons available to you, No pepper spray, tazer, stun guns, nothing.
You can just about get away with 'weapons of opportunity' a flash-light, a brush shank (as long as you leave the head on), rolled up magazine,
The law says you can use reasonable force to: protect yourself and/or protect another person, the real bugbear is what is 'reasonable force'.
