Belt. Hit 'em with the buckle. Ouch.
What object would you prefer to defend yourself with?

Block of C-4 and a stun gun
Realistically, a stick or even a chair will work. Depending on the weather, my seemingly 50lb leather jacket also works quite well.
But if all else fails, always carry a lighter on yourself (even if you don't smoke) and a little bottle of Binaca
. So inconspicuous that defense in court is too easy. For added effect, carry 1/2 a pack of cigarettes as well, and when even your closest friends testify with "Hey--I know you don't smoke!" you retort with "Well, what do you think I was using the Binaca for?"
Just my $.02

I once saw a mental patient take out 3 staff members with a phone...he swung the reciever around and hit them all in the face.......so I'd probably try that............although cordless phones ????Crap......ok,looking around my office I see,computer,coffee cup,ok coffee cup to the head.......
At my partime job(before I carried)I always thought I'd throw the register at a robber who threatened to kill................now............double tap,357mag.

Any coat works for catching and tying up the hands of an attacker (at least is worked for all those asian guys in the movies ), if i was at home I'd go with a pillow case with about 6 or 7 full beer cans in it. ( i hate to waste the beer, but if i got no other choice, than I go no other choice). the belt works goo too. and my 20lb leather trench works good for blocking blows, that thing is so thick i can bearly feel a paintball hit me when I'm wearing it.

A sack full of doorknobs, perhaps?
If I had time, and natural resources, depending on the wood and availability of rope-fibers, I'd either make a bow and a couple arrows, or an atlatl.
I don't go anywhere without my keys. I've been meaning to get one of those little retractible-keychains, like janitors have. Garrote and flail.

I have a cut down ax handle, a 26" long hickory stick, that I keep handy in my car. The main use for it is to knock the mud off the tires of my mountain bike before I stow it away. Keeps the mud out of the vehicle. Good for cracking skulls if defensive requirements call for it

Practically, (and remember this Maryland) a can of Fox OC spray is the best I can do.
Carried a pretty nasty folder for a while; realized with no training I'm more likely to cut myself than a BG so stopped kidding myself and started carrying the Yuppie Leatherman model for package opening instead.
Entertain a fantasy that my pacifist Greyhound (who is an 80 lb big boy after all) will develop a protective streak late in life. He is jet black and saved my butt from some "disadvantaged youths" who if the leftists are believed were on their way to Bible study at 2:00 AM once. (From their comments they assumed he was a Doberman). I had no concept of SA at the time....

Thrown Rock?
Rock held in hand?
Heavy rounded Rock on a stick?
Pointy rock on a long stick?
#2 wooden pencil?
Cowboy buckle on a stout leather belt?
Length of Garden hose or rope?
Broken bottle?
Anything I can pick up?
I watched a kid in high school pick up a desk chair with evil intent on his mind...
Lesson learned.

being an owner of a wily Lavender Oriental cat, I've got to go with BamBam's idea. I can't count the number of scars I have from giving cats baths and such. never declaw your cats. those claws can come in handy one day! ;-)

Didn't you guys see "The Bourne Identity"? A ball point pen goes a long way.

A field hockey stick is a really good choice - I haven't handled one since junior high Phys Ed, but I recall thinking that you could mess someone up real bad with one...
My first thought was a hickory shovel handle, sawed off to around three feet. If I was feeling really nasty, I'd drill out one end and epoxy in six ounces or so of #9 lead shot (if'n I could without ruining the balance.)
Second choice would be a piece of stiff rubber hose filled with sand.

With a field hockey stick I have broken a nose and gave 2 black eyes. Sorry to say she wasn' too happy when everyone took her picture that night since it was homecoming and she was the queen. I honestly didn't try it, but we didn't get invited back the next year to play them.
I would use anything, but a hockey stick is my first choice.

I think a good flashlight would be hard to beat.
If in a car that is about the best weapon you can have.
I personally think your mind is the best weapon you have.

Defense weapon
A really sharp hatchet with just a hint of rust on the edge.
The psychological effects of the rust add to the deterrent,
Plus a well placed blow will sever a limb, and can penetrate
body cavities. Most everyone has firewood to cut, right?

I have three pieces of ore from some mine.
Those, in a sock, can do some serious damage.

My soon to be father-in-law is a master electrician. He gave me an 18" long piece of electrical cable...its solid but balanced. I do not know what it is specifically. As soon as fiancee finishes her CCW classes we will bothcarry our CCW guns and a length of this cable.
