Weapons all around you!


            Some time ago I offered my services to a video game developer. Nothing came of that but during the process I did create the following list of commonly found everyday objects that could have been used as weapons within the game. Some of them are household items while others are more likely to be encountered in certain environments such as hospitals, marinas and so on.

            You are never far away from things that can harm you or that you may use to defend yourself. For more about defending yourself and your loved ones please buy my books.
