What would you use in each room of your home as an improvised weapon(s) -- in the unlikely event you are not with your firearm. I know many people will say carry always, but i would venture to guess they don't shower with their holster on.
Kitchen --- knife
Bathroom --- shower rod? is their a way to strengthen this?
Garage baseball bat, 9 iron, shovel ?
Family Room ???
Bedroom ???
Office ???
When I shower I always carry a water pistol :)
Lessee...
Kitchen - probably the 9" chef's knife in the "blade block"
Bathroom - Oh man... no self respecting home invader would wanna go into my bathroom :)
Garage - don't have one :(
Family room - too many weapon options in there... perhaps a Barnett crossbow... good psychological advantage :)
Bedroom - makes the family room look like a safe place :)
Office - see Bedroom... plus the office has the multi-view monitor for the security cameras, so not a good chance of anyone surprising us there.
but also, as you expected, unless I'm showering on in bed, there's always an on-person option.

Garage-- all kinds of good stuff hidden away-- plenty of chemicals to be sprayed, tossed.
Pick-ax should do nicely.
Kitchen--- knives are hidden away for our safety. Kitchen chair might be a good shield, old TV a bludgeon,
BOILING WATER if available. Fire extinguishers.
Office-- Heavy printer, pens, UPSs (pretty weighty), chair
Living Room-- rolled up old magazine, umbrella, mirror, assorted pottery, fire place irons.
Bedroom-- they'll have to deal with Mrs. Hopyard. They are on their own and can expect no
mercy.

Garage and utility room, cans of wasp spray and lots of sharp, pointy and heavy tools. Every other room I'm in has a gun. Its in my pocket or on my hip. Bedroom has a Mossy 500w/00 buck in a mattress rack. I only shower while the wife stands guard.

Almost everything is a deadly weapon in the right hands. I make my living using tools and don't worry about finding the right tool for the job of self-defense, adaptabilty is an asset and a weapon.
I don't always have nothing to say, but when I do, I post it on Facebook.

What type of event would cause my firearms to suddenly disappear from the rooms where they are staged?Originally Posted by uscarry45
Living room - Colt
Kitchen - Taurus
Office - Ruger
Bedroom - Beretta
Bathroom...Oh wait! I don't have any firearms in my house
Just yesterday my wife and I saw a rat in our garage. She was willing to confront him with a broom, while I laid on my stomach looking for him with a hand held spotlight. I flushed the rat, she wasn't effective with the broom, and he made the mistake of running by me. Having no other weapon other than the floodlight, I used it like one of those big cartoon hammers.
Quickly improvising was very unfortunate for the rat. There are workable tools all around.
I always just carry a solid metal pen in my pocket, as a backup. Hand to Gland type of defense.
To answer you queston, anything you can bledgeon someone with.

Keep a can of OC pepper spray in each room. That would be a fairly cheap alternative to a gun in each room. You can even carry one constantly on your belt. In rooms where you're likely to be unclothed like the bathroom or bedroom have a can within easy reach.

Living Room-fireplace tools
Bathroom-aerosol cans (hairspray, etc)
Kitchen-knives in block on counter
Basement-its my workshop, lots of weapons there...
And here's an odd one-in my hallway upstairs we have several guitars hanging on display (signed by bands, we purchased at charity auctions. Kinda like the old cartoon Quickdraw McGraw "el Kabong!" (OK, who remembers that one?)
I'd rather be lucky than good any day
There's nothing that will change someone's moral outlook quicker than cash in large sums.
Majority rule only works if you're also considering individual rights. Because you can't have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper.

Living Room-Fireplace tools, cats (throw them)
Bathroom- aerosol products
Den- Bayonets, knives, sword, displayed guns (I am a collector so there is plenty in there to use)
Gym- weights, barbell, dumbells
Not exactly inside but.....I don't run armed but carry sports drinks with me. A good dose of that sprayed in the BG's face would be a good tool
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”
And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

I always have a gun on my belt when I am awake. We do have wasp spray in nearly every room...lots of wasps here in Florida.
Made my day. :)
