the most commonly carried improvised weapon, keys. Put a short lanyard on them and you have a pretty wicked mace type weapon, especially if you carry fifty million keys. After that I'd say a pen. For women hair pins, knitting needles, keys, pens, the whole purse, hairspray
Hi gruntinhusaybah,
You bring up a good point about the keys. This is a common thing to tell
people, but I don't think that it would be very effective. Unless you were
able to hit the attacker in the eyes, I doubt that it would do much other
than to tick them off. I had a friend do that to someone in the bar one time.
I wasn't there, so I don't know the entire circumstances, but he did say that
he swung the keys at the guys face. Scratched the guy up a bit, completely
ticked him off and he proceeded to beat the crap out of my friend until the
bouncers hauled the guy off my friend. I saw the aftermath of my friends face,
and although he wasn't seriously hurt, he didn't look to "purty" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
Better I think to hold the keys between your fingers and use them as a thrusting
aid when you punch. Unless it was a life threatening situation though, it would
probably end you up in jail. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
