[Buzzword]

A three-piece katana set and a 12-gauge shotgun.

If all else fails, I have a guitar.

El Kabong!

 

[chickenman]

I generally just use my right thumb, since my left is too powerful.

Right thumb, not left

 

[serpentdove]

These. :Ninja: Lk 22:36

”Dwight Schrute Weapons "

 

[sky.]

Dead bolts. Mostly I don't worry about it. I don't like guns. I like to target shoot. Haven't done it in many years.

I do have a rubber pellet pistol for that pesky cat that tries to eat the birds.

 

[Sherman]

I have several. I have a whole collection of martial arts weapons which I know how to use--Sies, a Bo, Kamas, an Axe with a katana in the handle and last but not least a pellet gun. I like the Bo, it is long and I know how to use it to disable or disarm an attacker. I don't really have the funds at the moment to buy a proper gun. I would like to get a 30.06 or a 38 pistol. I used to shoot them all the time.

 

[Granite]

A Glock and a pitbull.

 

[sky.]

Hmmm. I would use mace or pepper spray. I should check into that.

 

[Nathon Detroit]

I have some small yapping dogs that are harmless. However, they are great at alerting me to anyone near my house which will give me time to grab my "snake charmer".

 

[vegascowboy]

Mossberg 500 "Watchdog" Shotgun .12 Ga

and a Glock 23

 

[Rusha]

I have four vicious guard dogs and a very sharp ice pick.

 

[Nick M]

Defense against whom? That changes things a bit. In my case, not so much as the M4 and SKS both can do more than one duty. Both can repel zombies at distance, and harvest animals for food when we go the way of Greece.

 

[TomO]

lain: *meh* I pretty much always either have a .38Sp or .380ACP on me all the time.

The fire-extingusher gun (go-to gun...home defense gun...whatever) though is a S&W M&P.40 with a Streamlight TLR1 & Meprolight tritium sights, it's kept loaded/chambered & with a spare mag in a pushbutton lock box.

I have a Winchester 1300 Defender 12Ga. in the closet but it's trigger locked and the shells live with the M&P.

Everything else is either in the gun cabinet or the safe. :idunno:

 

[Eeset]

Method? I do not own anything I wouldn't mind losing. Including life.

 

[steko]

What methods/tools/weapons do you use for home defense?

I keep my home and premises strung and wrapped in orange and black Biohazard tape. I haven't had any visitors in years, now. :noid:

 

[Town Heretic]

I find posting a sign at the front of my property that reads "This home protected by an ax", along with a photo of me holding said ax and smiling, tends to get the job done. It also cuts back on the number of uninvited guests...invited too, comes to it. lain:

 

[sky.]

Motion sensor lights on all sides of the house. I forgot about those. They bring some deterrence.

 

[HisServant]

Alarm system and outside flood lights.

The state police barracks are 4 miles away, and if any deadly force is needed, I would rather let them do their jobs.

If I lived in a remote area, I might think differently.

 

[ebenz47037]

I have three 100-lb dogs that look much more vicious (and sound that way too) than they are. Even my mail man is afraid to get out of his car when my dogs are loose. :chuckle: Plus, I have Teddy Bear, a 30-lb chow mix who was rescued from an owner who beat her. She won't let anyone in my house without her permission. Plus, I have a .22 rifle sitting next to my front door (because I forgot to put it away after shooting at the male dogs in my yard).

 

[This Charming Manc]

Prayer.

I do happen to have a ebony hardwood walking stick right by the front door, but that is juts coincidence.
