Sometimes I’ll be in bed just about to fall asleep when I hear a strange noise in the house. I wonder… is there someone breaking into my house? The first thing that I do is take a mental inventory of my bedroom. What do I have available to me that I can use to clobber or disable an intruder? I could bash the floor lamp into their face… maybe I could leap out of the room with a sideways kick and knock them backwards down the stairs… but then the sound doesn’t happen again and I fall asleep.
I have a small fruit knife. My parents thought it got thrown out.
Why does nobody reply to my comments? *curls up in fetal position and cries*
In my basement room I have a — I’m not really sure what it is, it’s a stick-thing a bit over a metre long and an inch in diameter. Near the bed in the basement (which I’m not currently sleeping on) I have a hammer. Oh, and all of Dad’s tools are downstairs too. In my UPSTAIRS room (I enjoy spreading my areas all over the place) I’ve a knife, maybe two, and another hammer.
I have a 2hand longsword and a 2piece dagger set next to my bed
So, is it just that Biff readers are weird and have a lot of weapons in their houses, or is everyone like that?
I can’t say a glue gun would be a bad weapon, even the “low-temp” variety glue guns can cause serious burns. The only concern would be the range. Even if you squeeze the trigger really hard, glue would likely not go more than about a foot. But imagine, you spray hot glue on a robber, he drops your stuff and starts screaming like a banshee. Muhahaha.
I personally have a katana in my closet, a wide variety of power tools in the basement, and a razor blade somewhere in my pencil case
I have a variety of blunt objects in my room most of which could easily cave a skull in, however any thief would probably be in more danger of tripping then impaling themselves on something in my disaster area of a room.
I have four katanas, a cane with a hidden blade, me & my brothers 2 longswords, and several daggers in my room. oh, and some rifles in the closet, because I think my swords look better on the gun rack. Of course, any intruder in my house would have to get past our mentally retarded chickens, border collie, always pissed off cat, and our pitbull who loves everyone and whose idea of love is biting off your face, first.
I just keep a katana next to my bed….
hunting knife and dagger im great at reverse hand so i can use them both at once
Katanas seem popular. I have one next to my bed too. It’s only a cheap showpiece though, so it would probably last only one strike…

If you nail the wrong person it’s ok, they should have KNOCKED.
Remington 870 FTW
Ruger .380 — beautiful, tiny, effective. Then again, I’m a Montanan, so having a gun in your bedroom is pretty commonplace here. But really, anything can be a weapon if you use it like one. Even a glue gun. Maybe.
I have katanas.
)
And a pistol.
And a tiger. (I have a permit to have one
Oh, yeah… I also have a naginata.
i keep a pole about 3 ft long by my bed
I know for a fact that glue gun burns hurt like ****. Curse you and your love of getting the kids involved in complicated craft projects, Grandma!
I have a 5 foot hiking staff, a bb gun, and a pair of inter-sheathing katanas.
One day, I was sleeping, then I heard a loud “BASH!” noise. I woke up, grabbed my guitar, and then proceeded to beat the crap out of the burglar. His nose was bleeding and he almost cried. I feel bad for him today. Oh, and the poor guitar just didn’t survive
I prefer the unexpected. I have a 2-ft(ish) long old, rusty, dirty, bent iron bar. Not necessarily the most effective weapon but not one that the burglar expects either.
