Description

Twenty legal weapons you can keep within arm's reach of your bed, and most of them are probably already in your house. After 31 years of making sure whatever I needed in the first ten seconds was already within reach, here are 20 legal weapons to keep beside your bed when the lights go out. No firearms. Pocket weapons, swing weapons, household tools, spray and stun, and at number one the weapon most seniors already own. A weapon in reach buys you distance and seconds. Your goal is still a locked door and a phone. But you never want to face those seconds empty-handed. Tell me in the comments: which one of these is already in your house tonight? Keeping these at home is legal almost everywhere, but carry laws vary by state: check your local rules. This video is about protecting yourself and your home. #selfdefense #seniorsafety #livealone #homesecurity #poweroutage #blackout #emergencyprep #situationalawareness
