Weapon to carry when you are unable to conceal carry

[Nick72]

I was wondering what others used to carry when they are not able to carry 'obvious' weapons such as their handgun/OC spray/knives etc due to workplace, on an airplane, etc. I was looking into the tactical pens that can double as a pointy weapon that could cause damage if used appropriately.

Thoughts?
Your favorites?
Ones to stay away from?

How about something like a monkey fist?

It's basically a lead ball with paracord around it. You can put on your keys.

Decorative keychain?

There is a plastic, L shaped widget with a large hole and several hex head holes marked with sizes, 1/2 in., 9/16 in. It fits nicely in your hand with the L extended out the bottom of your hand when you make a fist. First finger thru the ring/hole. I have taken it everywhere, including the airport. I was asked about only once going through security and stated it was a wrench for a bicycle. No problem. Training to use this would be similar to a kubaton.
Forget where I got it. Maybe someone else here knows what I am referring to.

Steel toe boots or shoes. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be roshambo'd with them. Legal to wear everywhere I believe. Not the most honorable way to win a potentially dangerous altercation but you get to walk away.

And this, my friends, is how BUDK and similar companies get away with selling the brass knuckles.

No, they're not *REALLY* brass knuckles, they're just a paperweight made in the exact same size, shape, and material as brass knuckles.

"Honorable" means nothing to me when I'm defending my life and have a daughter to go home to.
