    Nearest weapon to defend yourself

    What's the nearest self-defense weapon available to you while you read this?

    I'm at work, so the closest I have is my folding pocket knife clipped to pants pocket.

    I am in my room at my computer desk. About 6 inches away from my mouse is a Sigma .40 cal. Three feet away I have a AK leaning next to my bookshelf.

      I have a tennis ball within arm's reach. About a foot away is a fully loaded Swingline stapler.

        Glock 19 right behind me on the nightstand and Saiga 7.62x39 a few feet away, but in a zipped up soft case.

        If the situation doesn't call for a gun I have a Benchmade Barrage 580 on the nightstand as well

          Since I'm at home all day, I have my Mossberg 500 in my room. Anyone who comes in will make themselves known before where I am in my place, giving me time to fetch it (I'll either hear them coming over my patio or they'll be fiddling with my front door to break it down). Otherwise it's just the folding knife on my desk.

                lol good thread idea. i have my choice of a hk usp compact w/ 10rd of hp's, or an m1a socom16 w/20rd of hornady TAP .308 within 1' of my right hand.. and my griptilian... and an xbox controller. and a pickle jar with one gross lookin pickle still in it... and a skoal "mud jug" filled with 2mo old dip spit, which i am sure is on the cdc hotlist by now... and a tall can of watermelon 4loko... it all depends on the threat. i am currently battling the demon of sobriety...

                  Hands and feet, knife in pocket, stick, whatever - everything's a weapon.

                  Sig P220 10 feet away, but face it, we can't CCW here, so I guess it'll be hands and feet.

                    LOL @ sevensix2x51 That is a hilarious (and impressive) list. Espescially the "mud jug" and tall can of 4loko. lmao.

                      I'm currently sitting 2 feet from my safe and I always have it unlocked when I am home so there are many to choose from and the handguns are all loaded

                            I have several, the most deadliest is the vehicle I'm in, followed by my glock 19.
