I have some valuables in my home but nothing worth risking my life over. Likewise if I was walking down the street and robbed at gunpoint or driving in my car.

What I can I, in the situation of being subject to an armed robbery, do to increase my chances of not getting killed?

    if you can’t get a fire gun for your self protection because laws you can opt for a pocket knife with rapid deploy system

    Keep in mind that “rapid deploy” knives, AKA switchblades, may also be illegal. Check local laws.

    I always carry a Leatherman wave. If I was attacked and needed a weapon to defend myself, I wouldn’t open a blade on it. I figure I’m as likely to be injured by that as I am to injure an attacker. If anything, I’d just hold it closed in my fist to do more damage with punches.
