Weapon of Opportunity — Everyday Objects for Self-Defense

[Talyn]

As Heinlein (iirc) said—the only deadly weapon is the human mind; everything else is just a tool.

And...

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

― Frank Herbert, Dune

"Anything/everything is a weapon" was portrayed well in the Jackie Chan movies.

The only thing not portrayed in movies is the real life effects or lack of effects from using improvised weapons.

A regular belt can be very stunning as shown in the movie “The Accountant”

The best weapon is a supple and willing mind.

Gas. I eat a lot of beans. I’ll use the old, “pull my finger” defense. And if the assault happens in an elevator i get the added benefit of the “dutch oven” treatment.

Probably over-kill I have guns hidden in every room in my home.

As a buddy of mine said years ago "hair, teeth, and eyeballs." All are targets of opportunity. Nothing is "sacred"
when it comes to self defense. "Lead poisoning does come in various forms.
