I am trying to think outside the box on this thread. Leave traditional guns/knives etc out of the conversation unless they can be used in a untraditional manner.
Lets think security on a budget and with some imagination since it is in everyones best interest to have some form of security.
I am putting out an idea for those who are strapped for cash and do not have a large dog or animal. My idea is getting an MP3 of some large breed dog barking and if someone knocks on the door you just crank the stereo near the door and have the thing go until the person leaves your door. If the person wants in bad enough they will be looking down and you can take advantage of this by attacking high from around a corner or behind the door.
Perception is reality.
Just off the top of my head, if your not using a projectile weapon or a cutting weapon...your pretty much left with a bludgeoning weapon.
No gun, no knife...there's always something around that's useful as a club. I once used a heavy glass ashtray to knock out a drunk that went too far.

Think more of the "Home Alone" outside the box. What are some things that can be done to give the appearance that you are stronger than you really are?
Trainable killer snakes?
Hang my diamond harrows in the trees with a trip wire. Will slow the unwanted down
Great question
Trip wires, mouse traps in places, Mmmm that's it off the top of my head
I was thinking about digging a hole and putting a thin piece of plywood over it and then spreading some dirt over it. When walked on it would collapse and I have my intruder in a pit. Or how about a rake with some mulch over it and when walked on THWAP!

When I was younger I saw someone step on the rake covered in leaves. The spikes of the rake went through her foot. It does work for stopping someone but is the point to hurt someone or just to deter them?
I hope we are talking post SHTF here. If not you are talking about actions that could land you in a world of litigation that could make a zombie apocalypses look like a kindergarten tea party. You cannot lay booby-traps even if it is on your property. Nothing wrong with exploring the hypothetical just don't do it now.
LOL. I would not do it now. Seems others can talk about shooting hoards of gangs. Well, I have no gun but was thinking if post SHTF someone lands in my hole, I may just acquire one. 🙂
I'm not into the shooting thing either. Best plan is to avoid confrontational at all costs. In a shooting match there are only two outcomes them or you. I don't like 50/50 odds when it comes to my life.I judge avoidance to be much more prudent.
Am I the only one that likes things that go boom vs things that go bang?
How about snap,crackle and pop 😀
magic elves would be a decent home defence system, 😛
I grew up on Looney Tunes, Marx Brothers mvies and Robin Williams, Enter my mind at your own risk
Do you mean the good magic elves 😀 or the evil magic elves? 😈
