Home Defense?

I've always liked japanese swords, and I keep my favorite in my bedroom; a relatively long 15th century daito, that my friend (and first kendo teacher) calls "a good working sword". That said, I also like the trusty ol' cudgel, which sits in a convenient place.(No, I won't tell you where!)
My Italian friend, admiring my 50 inch macassar ebony staff, said:
"Quello non fa mai cilecca"
(That thing never misfires!)

and it's short enough for what my aforementioned kendo teacher calls "Indoor work"!

Mainly, I hope never to have to use them.
