What about weapons in the car? ruclips.net/video/O4oTLeHnPfk/видео.html
I think the problem is about size. You should look for small staff, a personally have at home a bunch of tactycal penknifes you can operate one handed. Also check gel and foam self defense sprays, specially designed for indoors.
Pretty expensive flashlight, but nice
if you have a dog he can alert you better than eney alarm, and he can also attack and scare away the intruders.
Wonder what your thoughts on the tonfa are for homedefence though
I just wish i had those Blade gauntlets batman has to defend against melee weapons but id only use fisticuffs for attack..... Mehn that shite can be real practical
Storing a weapon by the front door is basically giving the intruder an ammo drop for a raid mission.
Lmaoooo I was thinking the same thing!
Nope. Not if it's concealed. Not it your door is reinforced.
@@starofalltime Far better to give him a flash drive drop, with some Hippie, Maxrist, and mindfulness propaganda on it...after the grapeshot canister cannon smoke clears he will be curious...look on the flash drive..and change his life for the bettter....a BIG if...if it works on phone scammers to get one lucrative bite out of a thousand...it might help him find Our Lord and Savior Charles Darwin, and covert to science and rational thinking.
Du that’s why mine is under my pillow
I think an intruder would be so pumped up they probably wouldnt notice a weapon by the door. So much adrenaline they probably wouldnt even remember what wallpaper you had.
So I found this on the internet. You take a Roomba, and attach a Claymore mine, and for the psychological warfare, you start playing some 60s Vietnam era music.
That’s some metal gear shit right there
That’s dastardly. I like it.

Forget modern "fashion." I want fashion to be 20,000 dollar custom made battle ready gold hemmed plate armor and an accompanying blade fit for a king
We can't have guns in the UK for self-defence and we can't have "Self-defence weapons", I wish I could tell you what my go-to is but I don't want to spoil the surprise for anyone who decides they want to hurt my family in my home
I'm on a bus, but in my home I have a combat knife ontop of the fridge , dual wieldable big kitchen knives next to the sink, a samurai sword behind my couch, and a baseball bat next to my bed. I understand that the baseball bat can be nullified at close range
Edit: commenting at a later stage of the video, if I had two of the kitchen knifes they would be getting more holes put in em than Swiss cheese 😭😂
Best method is a “ preventative measures”
Just keep a sign in front of the house saying “ bee keeper, beware of bees/hornets/wasps...”
A sensor operated speaker, producing the right sound will make anyone nervous about the thought to walk in your property.
And of course, the real deal is the best! Just get a nest in each room and you are all set 😉
This is actually a really good idea
A cheap lockbox that says rent but it's secretly a stash of bees
that might trump "beware of dog" especially to the allergic!
Better yet a motion sensor that turns on a spot light and blares: *”WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MAH SWAMP????!!!!!!!”*
Question answer: Cold Steel Warhammer. Thompson Saber and 1941 US Naval Cutlass are good too. The short Assegai spear would probably be best for most people not having firearms.
Being trained to use them is the real deal.
The day my frontdoor came down i ran upto the narrow hallway, empty handed and confused.
yes i had weapons stuffed around place where they wouldn't get in the way or hurt me by accident, they remained untouched for the whole event.
Oddly enough, I've always been a fan of kitchen pots and pans for my imaginary home invasion scenarios (even the ones with orcs). They are simultaneously bludgeoning devices AND a buckler (mini shield)
Cast iron makes some awesome meals, also great for bludgeoning the hell out of someone.
Light frying pan is a nice bludgeoing weapon!
And after the bludgeoning, if you feel sorry for the invader you can make them an omelet.
@@lajoyalobos2009- One way to season the skillet.

I have a Blackbelt as well, hardly wear it, just doesn't go with daily wear!
I live in a studio in California. Got several pocket knives on my night stand plus several fixed blades and a bokken next to the bed
I have my own kitchen knive close to me when I'm in a room.
I’m in my living room. My highly trained Belgian Malinois would handle things for me (aka Mr. Bitey)
I was thinking the exact same breed. The only thing you would have to do is pause the show your watching at the time because you would not be able to hear it when the home invader is screaming for help.
Owning a gun is more a threat to your family than a home invasion, according to the data. Violent home invasions are extremely rare, most break-ins are theft, thieves don't want to enter a house with people home, they seek homes when nobody is there.
The shock of a break-in would more likely cause you to freeze, unable to fight back
A gun will more likely to be used in suicide or accident. An escape route, strong locks, a dog and a cell phone are you best bets
I am 6 ft. tall and beat down by age. But if someone busted in my home, I would not only have plenty warning I would have time because of the area I use. Beside everyone being armed on each floor, the intruders would have to contend with my dogs. BUT say something happened where someone was able to get to my area in my home in a timeframe where I didn't have enough warning and my revolver was in another galaxy and my Remington 870 was gone, then I guess I would use this aluminum t-ball bat.
Modified Nail Gun with an Air tank.
Horse head mask, Viagra, no pants, machete, start crying and screaming its dinner time!
They die from shock
Yes
Lol
or from laughing themselves to death
Hahahab gold
Best response!
I'm Canadian so my home defense is hockey stick based. Unfortunately, the home invader would also have a hockey stick.
I thought canadians' home defense was politely asking the burglar to leave
Then it is in even fight.
The first one to control the shirt wins
HOCKEY FIGHT!
So basically every house break-in in Canada turns into a normal NFL match
When I was a teenager and working security jobs we weren't allowed any "weapons" but every company gave us foot long maglite metal flashlights that held 4 C batteries and could easily knock someone out. Best thing is at night you could also blind them.
Same here. That flashlight was solid and hefty.
That's a good tip. What about a walking stick? You could thrust it quickly like a spear, which means quick damage, easy to use in crowded places, hard to take away from you. Plus, the police can't say you've had it lying around just to hurt someone. Just remove the rubbery end. What do you think?
@@alittaxThrust it quickly!😂
I had one of those a while back - you could beat a horse to death with those things...
@@alittax A walking stick is antiquated and very conspicuous.
If you don't have a gun use what people used before guns. Imagine kicking in a door and seeing a guy holding a long sword.... I bet you back up and close the door
Lots of guys voted sword... I'm gonna have to look into it.
The problem with a longsword is the same as with the club, you cannot swing it indoors. A short sword (a Gladius, a Cutlass) and a buckler shield, or a short word and a strong flashlight is much more effective in my humble opinion.
I really do have a one and a half hand Bastard Sword hanging on my Wall. Have trained to use it in full contact Battles for 6 years too :'D. But I also should get a one handed fighting axe seems way more practical, though I would opt for the historical Viking version since I am already trained with that.
A gladius would probably work well.
@@freneticfanatic Yeah a gladius could be cool but I would opt for something with a smaller less heavy blade like a sax or a long dagger. A Gladius does inflict massiv damage but is a definetly on the slow side of one handed weapons through its thick head heavy blade, there is a reason why it was used in combinatiion with a shield.
This video is the entire conversation I have with myself as I'm going to sleep

You’re my kind of person
@@yvyibree3754 no homo*
Honestly, everyone should.
Me too!
I once found myself in a friend's appartment as 3 guys started breaking down the door. There were 4 of us in the couch at the time, we had all done some martial arts and in the room with us were a sword, an executioner's axe from the 1600's with actual souls in it, a baseball bat and a hammer. We were loaded! And what happened when the door started braking down is exactly what mike said would happen. Everybodys eyes got really big really fast and everyone was just staring for a considerable amount of time before we sprang into action and grabbed the weapons. However, when we realized that these guys had brought guns it took only about a microsecond for me to teleport to the balcony and jump. Everyone else landed injured but man i landed running, and i kept running for a considerable amount of time!
"an executioner's axe from the 1600's with actual souls in it" LOL
how many of those souls you think were laughing at yall bailing?
@@CornyBum most likely every one and their grandmother! 😅
Feed the axe, poor homie gotta clean 4 long trails of blood splatter
Yeah not true
@@austineleo5839 like you know anything about anything. Mike probably made up everything about him being a cop too right? We probably don't even need cops cause crime as a whole is probably just not true... 😂
When your wife/girlfriend asks you what your thinking about.
I don’t have a gf I’m too weird lol but as for where I am and what weapon I’d use well i got a homemade bat upstairs but likely I’d use the flashlight I have on me at all times also as for pepper spray because hard to hurt was talking about it. My issues with it is one it’s illegal where I live and 2 unlike say a axe which will most likely drop someone regardless of how scary dangerous they are. I can’t imagine pepper spray being effective. When I think of self defence I imagine me going force on force with someone significantly stronger than me
You're *
No
If I wanted you to know, I'd be talking.
Yeah true 🤣
what is going on here?
Is this Home Alone 30 years later?
(slap slap) AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A high intensity flashlight shone in the eyes, and a 2 foot long sharp instrument (sharpened dandelion picker, lance, pitchfork) that can be handled with one hand, thrust point forward into vital area, is lethal, and impossible to block.
pitchfork
I think it's short-sighted for a regular person to think they'll be ready to kill someone by stabbing them, literally one of the most horrific and traumatizing ways to do so for both parties.
Also you *really* don't want to have the "impossible to block" (lol) weapon taken from you and used against you.
@@matturner6890 You’re narrowing the circumstances to fit your narrative. Of course you wouldn’t attack the Schwan man ringing your doorbell at 8pm.
But if someone like the Idaho killer is in your home, masked, weapon in hand, or you’re in a wilderness area and confronted by killers who escaped from a Max Prison, with the need to defend your family-you should do something other than wet your pants.
The topic was “Choosing The Best Home Defense Weapon (besides a gun). My suggestions are better than looking for your putter or a Louisville Slugger.
Experience in the field…..
I allways raid houses with a Shield on my other hand, just in case of a spear or sword attack.
Yeah, something pointy and being thrust is better than a slashing weapon. Most deaths are caused by thrusts, not slashes as well, a rapier is one of the deadliest swords for that reason.
Being a geologist, I have a lot of rocks lying around.
Why would I throw my precious rocks at them? I'd be guarding the rocks while intruder stares at me protecting my granite
@@loganricard8713 you are right. No idea what I was thinking when I wrote that comment.
As a minecraft player i would craft a stone sword
Hi, Mr Flinstone 😀😀
Yeah, but did you play baseball?
The best melee weapon for home-defence in my opinion is a spear. In my country guns are very hard to get and it is illegal to get a license for self-defence so alot of people rely on melee weapons. People make their own spears with a broom handle, kitchen knife and duct tape then place it beside them when they sleep. The spear is a perfect and unusual home defence weapon in my opinion because it is easy to thrust a spear in a hallway but it is difficult to swing a machete or a bat. It creates great distance which would he hard to close and it has been proven as one of the most effective weapons through history.
If you don't mind me asking but whereabouts do you live?
Maybe an assegai spear because of the short length.
The spear was the main military weapon for almost all of human history by every army for a reason. It works well... like really well. With virtually no training
Sam Ward if you’re in a hallway, and someone else is down the hall with a spear, you aren’t getting close to them and staying alive.
l b yeah of course if you’re down a hallway, but houses aren’t just massive hallways, they have loads of rooms and turns, a spear is most likely gonna get caught or banged on those doorways and corners. I could see a shorter spear working though, maybe 4 feet long

Army veteran but felon, I'm in the living room, on my hip I have a .177 pellet pistol semi auto with 30 rd mag. Above me is a 22 caliber pcp air assault rifle with 30 rd mag, which is loaded with 10 hollowpoint slugs 10 piercing pellets, 10 tannerite explosive pellets, which has a red dot scope, and a spare mag attached to it via velcro, with the same ammo setup in the 2nd mag.
Also have a 3.5 inch assisted folding knife in my pocket and a 15 inch tactical knife in sheath on my hip
I got a dog, but he frickin thinks everyone is his friend. He'd probably help the robbers pick out what to steal.
Does he make noises when he meets these "new friends"? 'Cause if he does, he's working just fine. A family dog is a warning system, not a weapon.
My dog would probably sleep and just let the robber steal things
give my dog a treat and BAM...robber has a new best friend.
Mine are nice but loud as hell. They hear any noise at all that could be a person and they freak out barking. Good guard dogs bad attack dogs.
Jay Coy hell buddy my dog would hold the flashlight for anyone that wanted to break in!
My two Rottweilers would help but I can't keep calling my daughter's that.

Rule number 1, never bring a knife to a pan fight
ill take my odds deflecting several pan strikes with my forearms vs several knife strikes that cause my arms to bleed out and is followed up by inevitable stabs to vital organs.
That's why you should always buy cast iron, not those flimsy stainless steel "Walmart" pans! You can break a person's wrist or forearm fairly easy with a good cast iron fry pan!
Bonk
One sorta dumb thing was the pepper spray like if the person doesn’t care about pepper spray you have no stopping power and with an axe or a gun even if that doesn’t stop them with pain it stops them with damage like an axe is extremely effective a two handed baseball bat isn’t even close to as effective as an axe as a weapon two handed axes have been used for thousands of years to kill people they do insanely high amounts of damage that it doesn’t really matter because sure you may have to strike more than once but how long is someone going to fight for after you chop off their arm or remove a chunk of their skull or something two handed axes are unbelievably deadly
@@srobeck77 That's because you have shit pans. I have pretty decent kitchen supplies given that I cook a lot, and I'd rather take a clean cut on the forearm than a whack of my sauce pan. My partner had a broken foot after letting my smallest one drop on it. And it's two times smaller than the one he had in the video.
For the majority of ppl let's be real. Unless you have a past involving a lot of street fights, mma, or military service experience, you'll likely get whooped by your own weapon. You'd be better off running than going hand to hand weapon or not.
It's gun or run, maybe to a panic room.
A violent criminal will take a few hits and just keep comming while only becoming more angry, they've likely been there before and have way more experience than you do.
Think it through.
I've actually yelled "Police freeze!" and had a eight armed assailant with a weapon run off.

"You have to have a weapon in every room"
*Pulls out RPG from under son's bed*
That part is idiotic. You need to have limited really well hidden or only accessable by you. Or none. If you have a weapon in every room you get one, the intruder gets another, now you are equally equipped again and its a shootout. Equal footing no guns is far better, if you having a gun and the intruder not is better or worse depends on wether you are an empathy cripple and able to turn off your head.
They would need to be out of sight or burglar would have the weapons.

Cutlass in my bedroom. The last thing they'll hear is "Avast scallywag!".
The very same, cutlass in the bedroom. The truly discerning home defender appreciates a modicum of hand protection on their weapon of choice.
@@S.Grenier Indeed. It cuts, it thrusts and its not too long.
BWAhahahaha
Cutlass here too. Pirates used them because they were equally effective on open ship decks and cramped hull quarters. They slice, chop, and stab at all ranges and can still pummel up close with the hand guard. I only wish there were more (reliable) cutlasses available on the market.
Aarrrr
There is an automotive tire tool, with a pry bar one side, and a large rubber (mallet) knob on the opposite. This would be my go to on a one handed close in fighting item to wield.
My house so small though as they break in they be breaking out
Hahahahahahha
Patient 0 😂 still bigger than mine
Hohoho...that was funny.
All the dislikes are dudes who are 6'4 and black belts in 3 different martial arts
Nope its people who have confidence in their own home defence plans. Anyone who fails to plan plans to fail. There is some good info here but some bs too.

A nice ash or hickory axe handle. Available in different lengths. I keep one that's midway between a hatchet handle and a full size axe handle. Can be used with one hand. Light but very hard.
You bet and this is why police carry batons, very effective at disabling people. The wrists and collar bone are very vulnerable targets and can easily be broken by even a moderate blow.
Your number one home defense object, even before a gun; a barky dog that gives you early warning. Those few seconds allowing you to react make all the difference.
Yep
And a small army of them is even better. Cover the invader in angry dog bodies.
I have 4 dogs including a husky, I’m all set
My corso is all I need
I agree but my beloved dog has died & I can't bring myself to get another so I now have video & alarm bell's for early warning!
Medieval armor and waving a sword while screaming "Have at thee!!!" is the best defense
Also good for road rage.
yes i would wear roman armor and carry a gladius or a bow and arrow and shoot with arrows from upstairs
ONLY in a British accent
Or an axe and yell charge like a viking
Nobody wants to mess with crazy. Crazy is scary. Crazy does stuff like making homemade claymore mines filled with feces-coated nails. Crazy will make people back off fast.
Practicing knife fighting has only convinced me that I don’t want to be in a knife fight. You will not make it out unharmed period.
If your opponent has a knife, run to stay alive.
It's as simple as that you can only loose trying to defend yourself
A coworker who lived in Boston, went out to stop a thug breaking into his car, ended up almost disemboweled. Got a month off work. The fresh scar made an impression on me. My scars from being knifed are tiny. 🤓
@@XRinger what happened to the co worker exactly? Belly got sliced up bad? Did he almost die?
The only time I can see myself going toe to toe against someone who has an edged weapon if I were unarmed, is if there is absolutely no other option or in the extreme situation I'm the only 'meat shield' between those I love. I'd run away, fuk trying to win a knife engagement. Even if you do "win", chances are you're going to bleed out and die soon after.
A person I knew years ago, who is a badass brawler, was in a "fist fight" with someone. Thankfully my buddy quickly realized his arms were bleeding profusely and GTFO while he could. The other person had at one, if not two straight razors and was going to work with them.
This is why I enjoy regulated fighting. People are usually friendly, their pals aren't going to jump in, you're probably not going to get shot or stabbed by someone, etc...
@@jonp3197 He had one long diagonal cut across his abdomen. The thug cut and ran. My friend went to his knees and used both hands to keep his guts off the sidewalk. He got infected and was in serious condition for two weeks. It took months to fully recover.
Sir, I've watched many of your wonderful and well thought out videos, and I am absolutely a fan of your work. My background is Taekwondo many-many years ago and later in my life (what I've come to believe is the more effective systems of Kali and Silat). From years of learning about anatomy and physiology and combining this knowledge with Kali and Silat, and understanding that the blade does not have to be large at all (however a very pointy and very sharp blade is always a good thing), and placement is also an extremely important thing. Combining knowledge, commitment to the defense, and training can absolutely be a devastating combination. There are many places on the human body where the puncture [with a jagged cut] does not have to be very-very deep at all to cause sufficient permanent damage to cause the attacker to stop what he is doing and wonder where his next breath is coming from, or wait....wait...I'm loosing consciousness due to blood loss...um...what...and then the lights go dark type of thing. I absolutely understand that no one is just going to let you do these things, but all I am saying is, if they are in your house and are going to kill you anyway, you absolutely have to do the things that you have been training to do for years and years, and you cannot hesitate, or your loved ones will absolutely be next. This mindset (from a front-line type of theater...I believe) is extremely necessary because these types of intruders in ones home ABSOLUTELY mean you harm (permanent harm), and I truly believe that hesitation can be the end of you and your loved ones. Commitment to an explosive defense (even if I am killed in the defense of my family) is super-super important. After all, what is the alternative, the annihilation of my family??? With these types of things in mind, my training over the many-many years has been very-very realistic and NOT point based.....at all...because in the real world, I'm well aware of the fact that you get ONE chance, and one chance only to save your loved ones (and this is NOT a [macho man] garbage thing ....at all). Peace, love, and happiness to you and your family, my brother. I love your videos, and may you always be well, sir.
"I dont think you would be able to stab this into someone"
*Laughs in butcher*
I don't think you can stab someone, what are you, a serial killer? Oh but I do think you can shoot someone dead, of course...
@Redgren Grumbholdt yeah wouldn't take long at all
I don't think that any "bad guy", even well trained, would be that willing to take the risk of approaching someone with the knife, even a complete amateur. Assuming that this "bad guy" is going with just bare hands, that is.
@@tomaszgaluba1459 Exactly. The knife is the right ammount of "Don't approach me, you'll lose more than you'll gain" and "I have more power in my hands than I can handle if I don't intend to kill you"
What can you do with a gun other than killing the intruder? Could someone live knowing they just killed someone that got into the wrong house?
@@reclutacontramontina5354 Well, both knife and a gun have the intimidating factor. The first of the two even more. The fear of being stabbed in the guts or "merely" having arms slashed is something one wouldn't ignore.
And if I remember well, just putting bayonettes on rifles was used as a scare tactic during WWII. I personally would rather be shot than take the frickin' bayonette between the ribs.
swinging an axe screaming " I have got Aids and covid" should stun any intruder.
Until they're like "Me too!"
Bonus points if you start coughing
Plot twist: the actual home defense weapons are actually to hurt yourself. Pros know that the best way to deal with a home intruder is stabbing yourself in the arm and start swinging at them
what about talking like some crazy cannibal happy for having another victim ? or anything else as crazy

@@cafenightster4548 yeah, and i believe they have higher torque, so it makes, _cleaner_ cuts.
You're right, most people don't realise how close and personal it is to use a knife on someone, and you have to persist at it. Stabbing someone is very emotional. It's nothing like the speed and distance of coldly shooting someone with a nice handgun.
What you should remember with any weapon is, if you fail to use it, they will likely use it on you.
I agree,spent over 20 yes in prison, your right.
Did a self defense course that focused alot on knives. There are no good options for both attacker and defender when a knife is, its a high chance both knife user and unarmed person will be hurt. The distances are just too close.
you should also get into wrestling if you plan on carrying a knife, it helped me a lot
a kerambit is the best option right next to a dagger
I am never emotional while stabbing.
I'm in my living room right now. I have a Glock 32 on my hip, but if I couldn't use that for some reason I would use my M48 Talon short spear. It's short enough to use 1 or 2 handed as needed, it's used for thrusting forward so you don't need a lot of room to swing it, and because it's a relatively long thrusting weapon you can keep an intruder at a distance without wrecking the shit in your house. Spears have been used by all peoples on earth, from prehistoric sticks with crude stone points, up to bayonets that are still used by modern militaries. The oldest known spear is 400,000 years old, and they are still used in armies today. That makes it a winner in my book.

One thing that alot of people forget about home defense is the defense aspect.
Sure, you've got the perfect wweapon. What if you get shot or stabbed? What's there to defend against that?
My home got invaded once. The attacker was adamant with leaving with whatever valuable he could grab so he wasn't leaving even with my crossbow pointed at him. He lunged at me and tried to stab me. You know what saved me? I wrapped a bunch of magazines and taped it around me as some sort of improvised anti-stab armor when I knew the attacker wasn't going to leave.
Since then, I've been investing time and money on body armor that's maneuverable and able to protect me. I haven't found much other than steel plates.
Protect your home, property, and family. But above all else, protect yourself. You can't defend your home, property, and family if you can't protect yourself.
Best response ngl no one talks about the defense aspect just the offense

I assure you that I have pondered the self-defense capabilities of every knife on my large knife rack at length. After watching this video, I'm moving to pots and pans. I have a pretty solid ladle that I have my eye on. ;-)
@@estarriol7 If you are uncertain about driving a knife into the chest cavity of an enemy, cut him/her in the inside of the elbow, you don't even have to cut that deep to slash through major blood vessels and tendons. The enemy now has two choices, they can drop whatever is in their other hand and try to stop the bleeding or they can continue to fight and in under a minute fall on the floor out of blood. If they choose to put pressure on the wound you now have the choice of phoning for an ambulance and a police officer or making another hole in them.
Nope. No you aint.

As a tradie, I find the idea of facing a carpenter armed with their favorite hammer terrifying.
Trades tend to use their tools effectively
I'm a truck driver and I use a 3 Lb. sledge everyday, tire thumper, I could do some damage with that thing. A good idea, I didn't think about that before now.
@James Wunderli get a 32oz ball pein. Easier to swing.
I don't. Most tradesmen around here couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo never mind a nail with a hammer. I'm actually more worried for my safety when their genuine intention is to build something.

If you don't have gun, its bow and arrow time boys.
Also, yes, if somebody wanders into my kitchen uninvited and have put themselves within stabbing distance, I will assume I've already told them to go away at that point and if they try to grapple me I will ABSOLUTELY stab them.
I don't know who you are or where you come from, stranger, but I warned you to leave my spinach puffs alone.

@@ChuckJacksontampaphotographer yes. Your inviting people the other person to use that knife as well if you don’t know how to thrust it and retract it properly. From da hip
@@jamesbunda806 I mean you can say the same about guns... I don't know why this guy thinks a gun is instantly the best weapon for self defense after saying "I think you can't kill someone" "I think you'll freeze". Then what's the damn point? You think you can shoot someone? If he gets too close that he can take your gun and point it at you, what will you do?
A knife is far better (as long as you're not dealing with someone with a gun) because you can decide how lethal you want/can be with it. A misplaced gun shot can instantly kill a person that maybe was only drunk and got into the wrong house. Then you go to jail.
Both the firearm and the knife are threatening, but only one tells you "I cannot hurt you if you don't get close, so please don't come close", the other instantly tells the other guy "I can kill you right now, what will you do?". If the other guy has a gun and sees you reaching for your gun, what do you think he will do? Sing a happy song while you take your gun and point it a him? He'll most likely kill you before you can react.
So no, the best home defense weapon would always be a knife, but the best defense of all would be to hide your family and if you can and let the bad guys room to leave.
No possession or money in the world is worth your life.

And when you say bears, do you mean the wild animal variety or a large, hairy gay man?
@Theonlyonestanding But a guard dog takes out the element of surprise.... even if a invader has a gun you can get ready behind a corner or get your own gun out 😂. If an invader is halfway through your house then you're fucked. A dog will let you know by the time hes on your front porch or backyard. Use your head buddy.
Yeah, my dog would be snoring under the covers as I got strangled to death.

I live in Canada, so though we're (sort of) allowed to own guns, the storage regulations make them somewhat impractical for home defense. I have a 16" length of 1/4" by 2 1/4" aluminum bar stock. I narrowed it down on one end and wrapped up a comfy handle with hockey tape. It weighs next to nothing, is very nimble, and if you were struck with it, even on the forearm or body it would hurt like the hell. If someone was holding a pistol and they were hit on the wrist with this thing, they would not be holding a pistol anymore. Plus its thin and easy to stash under the mattress without making any weird lumps.

One tip to add: Leaving a weapon sitting by the door is the same thing as offering it to an intruder. He's now an armed intruder.
If he wasn't before..
@@solomonstello I was going to say, he is probably already an armed intruder and your front door probably should be locked so you should get at least a few seconds before he can get through it.

@@cargosquid of course they do.i mean this guy is just stupid with all of is argueing.
I agree. Few people have the ruthlessness to do that.
Yup. Most injuries occuring on aggressors in such cases are a single stab or cut. Most average people in panick don't become mauling beasts. It's stick and run.
If someone is not willing or able to stab an attacker with a knife in self defense then they're realistically not someone who's gonna do shit to defend themselves at all anyway so worrying about the weapon choice becomes completely irrelevant. Bonus tip: if you're defending yourself with a kitchen knife then use it for slashing rather than stabbing because they're made for cutting (not stabbing) and they will absolutely fucking wreck whatever soft tissue they come into contact with and create a bloody mess in a hurry.

Good home defense plan: Have effective exterior perimeter security/alert system to detect the presence of an intruder... BEFORE he gets to your front door or other entry point.
@Pony Faced Dog Soldier - that's why you want to have motion sensors around your property in strategic positions to know that the zombies are there BEFORE they get to your front door. IF they come through your door, well... you gotta take care of business.
Good idea, but I wouldn't want to rely too much on tech for defense. Unless you have a pretty good plan B.
Ok but what's the plan past that if they get to a entry point and not caring about the system? as the system would serve as a extra reaction time so you can get your flamethrower ready
@@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena - put your defense plan into place. Maybe that's a bat, a knife or a gun... that's up to you. The point is, just have a plan BEFORE something bad goes down!
@@HighSierraBob the best plan is the one where you have to use the least amount of energy such as using a gun however since most people find that scary and rather die than to kill might as well go with a flamethrower as everyone has that one family member that leaves their perfume everywhere and everyone should have a lighter so everyone basically has a flame thrower or fireball spitter if it is not a constant stream of Axe body spray
Then again i am the type of person that has to explain to law enforcement why the intruder is laying there with napalm burns which napalm itself is not illegal to have or make and not hard at all just a stop to your local dollar store for ingredients...and using it on people well that one would probably be harder than using a Gun to define as self defense surprisingly and if not then that's just sad. Anyways chemistry class can be dangerous accidently especially if you did not intend for the finished product to be napalm
I will just tell you now don't go to any sites to buy napalm it is better if you just make it yourself as 1 it's cheaper and 2 you actually know what you are getting. And for the love of god do not play mad scientist and find out a different way to make it as at that point you need to ask if you should not if you can and its crazy how 1 google search would tell you how to make the stuff and how a banana peel could make a nuclear reactor go critical

As a carpenter the straight claw hammer is a favorite. Also when I was a kid our home was broken into while we were home my dad laid 3 guys out with a hot skillet (he was cooking at the time). So it definitely will work.
Roofers will sharpen their hammer blades to punch a roof to stop them from sliding off in a slip. They're light (fast) and grippy, good weapon if it's ON you. As a carpenter, I'd use the claw, not the face on an attacker.
