Umm as a Candain I don't get to carry weapons around, a fun trick however is to use every day objects like weapons, like relsesing the stap on one side of a purse can make a damn good flail. or carring strong perfume works as a mace. my personal favroite is a sharpend key good for poking out and eye or naking a sandwich. Though if you got the time I whould just confuze the attacker somhow untill he gets frightend of his own existance and runs away crying like a little girl.
