I dunno, i saw this cold steel self defense style pen and damn if I want to be hit by one even by a woman. I heard also of two pens that are actually a balisong knife, a gun pen, a 22 cell phone, ballistic pen knives, I even saw one that hides a piano wire garrote. I'd say any of those ideas are worth looking into. They say the pen is mightier than the sword? ::rambo:: Might just be. I know that my uncle years ago was writing something on a map while driving, and got in a wreck, and when he woke up the pen was stuck real deep in his temple and he was stuck on a table unable to move or speak like that one old episode of the twilight zone. A doctor eventually noticed him trying to call out, they were about to pronounce him dead. If a pen can do that just by accident you could probably do a man quick with one.survival said:Ok, there are these videos that have a guy with a stick pen, he shows ways to use it to defend yourself. Worth it? I figure I always have a pen on me esp when I go into a place where I can't carry.
Its an good thing to defend your self at the first moment.The pens are not even close to be as good as a weapon as a knife or gun, but it is better than nothing.
