So, you know that carrying a concealed self defense weapon is a crime. However, having a concealed weapon can be a great self defense tool, handy for disabling any attacker that may have a weapon himself.

Since you can't carry a gun or a knife in public, I would like to show you a few valuable little household objects you can use to disable a violent thug. These self defense weapons are nothing other then common things you probably have lying around the house anyways. They are small, compact and concealable.

What am I talking about?

Self defense weapon #1 - Carry a metal pen in your pocket at all times. Metal pens are primarily used for writing, but they can be used as a stabbing weapon, and they are smaller and more concealable then knives and carry alot less legal penalties in court cases if you end up getting charged with assault using a weapon.

Self defense weapon #2 - Carry a roll of coins or a large standard plastic lighter in your pocket at all times. If you ever sense that you are in a situation where you will need to defend yourself or someone you love, then put the roll of coins or the lighter in your punching fist and let 'er rip. These items will make your fist a better impact weapon.

These are just two potential self defense weapons you can use for under $10 and the chances of them being used against you are very slim. These weapons are perfect for self defense and like I said before, don't carry the same legal consequences as fire arms or knives.
