In the movie "Pulp Fiction" the character played by Bruce Willis has his gun taken away at the pawn shop and he resorts to looking around for an improvised weapon. Hammer, baseball bat, chain saw, sword...
This really is a serious question though. The above scene always reminds me that even though we can be disarmed, we will make do with what we have to protect our families and not resort to a victim mentality. Well, wasn't exactly a family scene, but you get my drift.
If you had nothing that is generally referred to as a weapon first, what would you personally use for improvised home defense? Anything from Home Depot or a sports store is acceptable, but no firearms, fighting knives, batons, or swords. No mace or OC spray. No stun guns.
What would you keep "at the ready", in place of a "real" weapon?
Baseball bat?
Propane torch?
Nail gun?
kitchen knife?
chainsaw?
Household chemicals?
