Home Defense?

I would use a 19th century ratcheting antique navaja. After reading the Manual del Baratero I am now fully equipped to dispense well deserved mayhem on anyone foolish enough to invade my castle.

As I theatrically and slowly open the old folder, the sound of the "carraca" will hopefully mesmerize the evildoer, who I am told will passively stand by until I send him on his last journey with the rusty Santolio

. Of course, if due to uncontrollable nervous agitation brought on by the ratcheting, he heads my way, I have plan B: Throw the navaja away and run like hell out the backdoor, yelling wildly that someone is trying to rob my antique collection

Cheers
Chris

As a newbie here jumping in the deep end, i'd grab these as i swing out of bed, the doggies giving me a few more moments to warm up....

or mebbe

or if i had a few minutes, i'd grab the ol' barn door & axe & sling the spatha over my hauberk & i'd be ready for anyone who could get past my two 65lb., 45mph landsharks. you can get in, but don't plan on getting out.

they're not scary, really

If they don't want me to eat animals - why do they make them out of MEAT?
