I have a putter under my bed

[fenderstrat]

wow, we are scared, arent we?

 

[Funkysandwich]

Jeez, there's some paranoid people on this forum...

I don't have much in my bedroom to defend myself with, but if worse comes to worse my Bass guitar is solid-body with a bolt on neck. I imagine it'd hurt if used as a club.

Does this count?

Edit: I'd like to add that I never intend to actually shoot anyone with this gun, or any for that matter. It is for the defense of my home, not to be used aggressively.

If you really don't intend to shoot anyone, then you're better off without a gun, at least that way you won't get shot with it when someone takes it from your hands. A lot of people aren't actually able to pull the trigger when the time comes, and some criminals are willing to take their chances that you're one of those people.
Anyway, only weapon I have is a phone to call the cops, since I'm physically pretty weak a melee weapon won't do me much good, and it's pretty hard to get a gun here in Australia.

I have a dog and a wife. We have a synchronized attack worked out that I learned in a dream.

When an intruder breaks in, my wife straddles my extended forearm like a witch's broom and extends her own arm. Then, our dog jumps onto her arm, fangs bared, ready for battle.

Finally, we all howl in righteous anger as I launch my wife at the attacker, who then fires our dog.

Man, I cannot wait for someone to break in here.

A Final Fantasy VIII [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zfvk6SfLZQ] fan then, I take it? (at about 1:15)

Dude, I'd do it just to see that first hand. Where do you live again?

Dual wield samurai swords. Nunchucks that I'm actually quite skilled with. Failing that I have a guitar hero controller and I think I'm fairly big enough to do some serious damage with it.

Yeah, the dream I got it from may have been formed in my subconscious when I played that game.

Protip: Name the dog funny names for maximum win, i.e, Rape for Rape Cannon, Rape Rush, etc attacks.

Next door, to your right. Try it tonight for epic fun!

I live next to a Police station, I don't have to fret over such things.

Hey folks!

Ever been afraid that someone might try to break into your house?
Well if you're afraid of robbery like me, then you most likely have some sort of weapontype oject near your bed.

My weapon is my crappy secondary putter that I no longer use in golf. It does me no good in golf, but I bet it would do good on a robber's skull.


My question is, what weapon, if any, do you keep near your bedside?

Actually, a putter would be very difficult to utilise as a weapon indoors due to its length, unless you live in a home with exceptionally large rooms and high ceilings. All a robber has to do to disable your striking ability is stand just beyond a doorway.

I have two kittens in my flat and if someone robs me they will snuggle him to death.

 

[The_Shrykull]

Well seeing that my options are limited by my age and my mum I would probably say either my bb gun or a kitchen knife seeing that i have mastered how to get to my kitchen pretty fast.

I'll see you in 15 minutes. Have a camera ready so we can upload the resulting shenanigans to youtube.

Cool, cool. Hey, for funsies, I'll act like I don't know about our planning this. It'll add realism.

Is it really that bad down in America? I live in Canada so I don't really need weapons in my house. If someone is breaking in it's my friend, so I hand him a beer.

until the controller disintegrates in your hands

and i can not believe the amount of people relying on active defences where broken glass and razor wire has you covered in my area there have been several home invasions the houses on either side of me have had attempted invasions but mine has not been touched except for the blanket on top of my wall and the trail of blood leading off down the street

I love people that don't think others can properly handle a gun and actually use it when "the time comes". Nobody ever wants that time to come, but if it does...don't think I'll be better off without a gun. Besides, read my other posts.

I have a Taurus .40 PT 24/7 Pro under my bed ready to rock and roll in a seconds notice.

 

[jamesworkshop]

strange people on the escapist where I'm from robbers try to steal your car or your car keys/money/tv/dvd players/mobile phones

not murder you

All a robber is going to do when they hear you is run away anyway with whatever they have managed to take getting in a fight doesn't make them any richer, has a possibility of injury and allows the victim the chance to identify the culprit or at the least give them a good physical description Gender/Age/Height/Build/Hair/Eye colour nor do they want to leave their own blood stains at the scene and neither do you because cleaning blood stains can be expensive.

That said I do have a sword in my room but its purely for decoration and I would never consider using it, its blunt (stainless steel) and too unwieldy to swing in an enclosed space and doesn't have a proper hilt that would break if swung with any force.

If you want weapons for self defense it best to use things designed for such use like Mace sprays or tazzers not things designed to kill, swords and daggers were not made to create non-fatal injuries
