Pens and mechanical pencils are universally accepted and can be nasty in a fight. I have a Pentel P205 that is super pointy and would definitely penetrate skin.

I have always been a fan of the nearest chair.

I live in Oakland CA and when I am walking back from the store with a six-pack of beer I have often thought this would be a bad time for someone to attack / mug me because I either have one large heavy object or six smaller ones to throw at their head. Either way I hurt them or at least distract them. But then I would have to turn around a go get more beer.


Weapons aside a good kick to the knee can collapse the knee real fast. This disables the attacker, injures them for life in many cases and hurts like hell. If you have ever blown your knee out to any degree you understand.

Oh and I always loved Sean Penn's can of coke in a sock from Bad Boys.
