I must be different. I have no hidden weapons in my house, aside from objects which could be improvised.

Me too, just a couple of really nasty dogs and a cat that they would trip over!

- Behind the living room to outside door: three baseball bats
- Kitchen, on top of the freezer: a very sharp ax
- Hall closet: another six or seven baseball bats (youÂ’d think we played ball with how many bats we have)
- Moms room: a few knives
- My room: a few more knives. The only really sharp one is a buck knife by my bed.

I used to have a cat.....It was much more "fecal" than "feral".
It still helped me with my footwork, though! :uhohh:

Gross dude, Klingon's are only cool in Star Trek..not on a cat
I keep my AK-47 in my bedroom.
Granted, it MIGHT be a bit of overkill, but its ok, Ill just yell "Hes coming right for us!" before I shoot.

Very True...A friend of mine was working an off duty job in a big warehouse at night..He swore he heard something moving and came out of the office and announced to the large darkened room to "Come out or he was coming in" and he "jacked" a round into the chamber..4 people emerged from the darkness with their hands high pleading don't shoot...
Oh Yeah! The 12 gauge chambering sound is definitely an attention getter. When I was at my friends house, someone was messing with his window. My friend said to get away, the offender responded with a vulgarity. My friend chambered a round, and you could hear feet scrambling away!

OK I know it is sort of reviving a thread that has gone quiet, but I didn't see this one during the move and 2 1/2 week wait for DSL to be hooked up at the new place.
I was talking to an older LEO a little while ago and he suprised me with what he has around his house for a "weapon" in case somebody breakes into his own house. Scattered around the house sitting behind some of the doors he keeps fairly large/heavy fire extinguishers, the dry chemical type. When I got an odd look on my face he explained that:
1) useful for a fire of course,
2) good door stops,
3) anybody can use them,
4) not illegal, even in Mass.
5) not gonna kill the neighbor if you miss,
6) once you fire it off in their face, there is a nice cover screen to get away
7) a heavy fire extinguisher will drop somebody like a sack of potatoes when you casey-at-the-bat at their head.
I had never thought of using one of those and must admit I went out and brought home a couple that afternoon. I mean why not have some extra fire/safety around your home. I regularly check out my smoke detectors, and now have something to put out my morning eggs and bacon when they go off telling me breakfast is done. BONUS!
