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.
Jesus. I don't even know what half of that stuff is, but good for you.
@n4meAL No license required here, just background check to pass at each purchase. Which is good cause you can't license a constitutional right. If I was rich and could afford to buy ten at a time, it would be just one background check.
"Do I have a permit? Yeah I got a permit. It's called the 2nd Anmendment of the Constitution"-

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.
Walk up to the guy: “You robbing this place too?”
@DarkWinterNights I might genuinely think that if I'm intoxicated enough. Like, oh wait, is this my house? :-D
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.
Here it's the same with the certain length
Yeah I can understand why and also the restriction without reason. Tho it's a bit odd like the amount of laws that are kinda circumvented by private property. Where is it you live if you don't mind my asking?
I'm from germany
That is interesting, I wonder if it's a sort of common law amongst most countries or even just European ones.
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.
you're packing, nobody is messing with you.
Lol, damn right.
Just your average girl
*Pulls out an entire armory out of her pockets 😂😂
@n4meAL No reason to lie, yes.
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'.
I own a variety of weapons. My go to carry is a Glock 22 gen 3 in.40 SW.
Have I ever needed to shoot someone? Thank God, no. Ideally I never ever have that happen. Have I been in several situations where I thought I may be attacked and either need to shoot someone or suffer grave injury? Yes.
Well, as a boy not much self-defense gadgets are needed but I always carry a knife and my phone. The phone is the most effective gadget. Why? All I need to do is to call my friends! Yes, we do help each other in such situations and tbh, if you are trained and pack some muscles like me its fun too
Various guns, knives, swords, lances, and pepper spray.
Guns, mace and a Taser brand Taser
Daamn girl I did not expect that haha but I totally respect that
Why not, I’m pretty open about owning guns, but since we can’t bring them on campus, I have my Taser (which may not be allowed either, but it rather stand before a disciplinary hearing than another rape crisis counselor!)
Handgun I carry everywhere allowed by law. I also have Milo, a 180-pound Mastiff, that helps keep the house safe.
I pity the person that breaks into my house at night and meets Milo. They are NOT going to have a pleasant experience.
Milo love it. I have Moose 150 lb mastiff
I have two.38's. One I bought, and one my dad gave me. Both are loaded with hollow points.
Don't be daft. Get yourself a tactical flashlight.
This not only serves as a blinding torch in case of emergency. But also a cudgel. One that will let you get close and do serious damage should you require.
A few different knives, three handguns, a shotgun, a bolt action rifle and a semi auto rifle.
I have it covered.
Anyone trying to break into my place truly has a death wish.
I have just purchased a handgun and a shotgun. I have an aluminum baseball bat that had top broken off. It is under the seat of my truck.
Firearms not legal in UK. In garage I do have a couple of machetes and some hunting knives. Used to have them in bedroom but realise that if I ever did use against an intruder them I wouldn't have a defence. I have a pool cue close to my bed
Currently an AR15 with a 1k lumin pulse setting picc mounted light and 30 rounds of Hornady Critical Defense rounds. Also have a 12 gauge and bear spray handy for the occasionally aggressive bear or wolves.
Police are slow to respond here.
In my car -- a baseball bat, a 9 inch hunting knife, a fake gun which looks goddamn real.
At home -- a huge collection of knives
I have none as I'd rather run away because I know I can't win a physical fight. I usually have someone accompany me whenever I go out at night. Also I am living in a city that makes me feel safe as a woman.
You are so damn sure you can't win a physical fight even if you have something such as a hockey or baseball bat or cricket bat or iron rod... or if nothing works a Hard kick to a male attacker always helps... no?
I lack the strength to attack.
You mean inner mental strength?
Both mental and physical.
Why do you feel physically weak? Just curious, what's your height and weight?
5'4" and 53 kg
That's decent for a woman ♀️👠
A gun can solve that problem
@Danny_dan92 haha but it isn't legal in many countries
Well… sucks to be them. They and people before them voted people in that abolished those rights
@insteadfew yeah like in germany lol here you need as a sport shooter a permit and a gun license but carry with you may only police officers and foresters
m 30 years experience of training... and at the moment, 44 blades of different types, all over places and spots, lol
I have my "pocket rocket" Kahr P380 pocket handgun I usually take around. I do have OC spray but never carry it.
Occasionally carry a G48 MOS 9mm.
Outdoors I carry a P320 X5 Legion on my hip.
For self defense? Just a small pocket knife for now but I'm working on a conceal carry permit.
Now for home defense... hehe lets just say I pitty the poor fool who breaks into my house while I'm here.
Guns knives basically everything but in my town your a dummy if you break in to anyone’s house cuz everyone owns a gun here and everyone knows it so there’s rarely any break ins and stuff like that here
I have two dogs. One that barks and one that bites. I also have a kitchen full of sharp knives and a closet with a few pointy heels.
Probably my rounder sharp tip lol. From geometry box. And the knives from kitchen. One of them can work well as pocket knife.
kitchen knife didn't work in Scream
We have 3 big dogs. I blacksmith and own a collection of knives and swords some of which I have made.
On me none in my room, I got multiple knifes including a bowIe knife, a mini bat tip put a sock on it so the enemy can't take it to easily, multiple bb guns and a bow
I have a Buckmaster very long thick knife like a Rambo knife I also have a shotgun and I own a 44 magnum like in the
Clint Eastwood movie. My brother has a Vietnam rifle the mini 14
I have a ring I put this little sharp point on that when I wear the ring u can't see the point. And if someone messes with me I can stab them with it
Submission holds and two knives but I prefer to be one-handed. A spare is always handy!
I don't have that kind of thing, only KARATE I have, I joined 2018
A Mossberg pump action 12 gauge shotgun.
A Glock 17 9mm semi-auto hand gun.
I don't have anything currently. although im thinking of going for a gun someday
357 magnum 2 assault rifles 30- 30, 185 pound draw crossbow and I know how to use them with a bad attitude behind all of them with a couple things I can't say
1. 45 caliber handgun. 1. 9 millimeter handgun. 2. 12 guage shot guns. 2. 5.56 caliber rifles. 1. 308 rifle. Several combat knifes, and 1 Scottish claymore just in case.
Gun, knife, OC Spray, Baseball Bat, Baton, Taser, Nun Chucks and Detachable Bo Staff
I have a Rolling Pin I'm use and a huge butcher knife Lol
I own a telescope baton, cause i found it. But i never cray it with me.
A pocket knife, and my concealed carry 50 caliber desert eagle..
Lmao, how the hell do you conceal a Deagle? You can tuck it in your pants, jacket, etc, but's it's a big ass pistol. You'll still see it.
I have ways. I actually carry two. One in my car under the front seat, and one on my person at all times.
That's more an intimidation weapon than effective. Not too many rounds in the mag, so you NEED to hit. I know everybody thinks they're John Wick and will always hit, that they'll always shoot first, etc. People aren't conditioned to massive violence anymore. Your brain will literally shut down for a second. It's not because you're "pussy" or anything. It'll just try to process what's going on and you'll be stuck like a deer in headlights. Ammo is expensive, even if you hit the guy you're going for the bullet will definetely go through and hit shit you dont wanna hit, and if its civilians you're held liable.
Now that would depend on what you consider a weapon?
women's best weapons are their mouths, and cooking
Sig p365xl
My best weapon is my mind.
My backup is my KelTec P15.
Crossbow and a lot of bolts [arrows] and long bow too!
Mace Gun
uh, a pistol, a couple of rifles, a lot of knives. I'm out of pepper spray but I like the stuff. I have several tasers/stun guns around, but my favorite item is my Indiana Jones whip. :)
