Weapon

[Moose423956]

Following on from another thread, what does the team think is an acceptable weapon to be armed with in case someone breaks into the house?

I have an ash mallet (used for knocking in cricket bats) next to my bed, but it isn't very long, and I want to replace it with something a bit more meaty.

Obviously a firearm is out of the question (kids in the house), so what sort of thing is acceptable for protection, and also not outside the rule of law.

I was thinking a decorative samurai sword, or maybe a crossbow.

I keep a flame thrower on pilot next to the bed at all times. Useful if you like to smoke in bed too.

I bought a Aboriginal War Club in Oz a few years ago - the ideal skelping instrument.

Perfectly balanced, aesthetically pleasing and you would definitely not want to be on the receiving end of even the lightest of whacks.

You don't.

Shotgun certificate requires a passport type photo and you haven't got a head

I'd have thought you would have a good collection of diving knives.

The best one I have found is a rounders bat. Smaller than a baseball bat which in a house you couldn't swing anyway.

Maybe a spear gun. Your also a diver so could say it was "just lying around".
