Simple question, what do you have in arms reach right now for protection and lighting? So if there was a home invasion, or a power-cut, what is in arms reach?
At the moment, I have a laptop for both (A crack on the head with a laptop would suck). A glass, an empty wine bottle, and knife for protection. As for lighting, torch in the pocket and a lighter and candle behind me on the sofa.

I have my mobile phone with a built in light.A maglight in the kitchen cupboard along with lots of candles.I always carry a UK legal pen knife but at home I swap that for my 1980 Buck 110.I have several display quality swords and a battle axe on my walls,the axe is just to left of my pc. (I keep the real blades upstairs along with my archery gear).Shotguns are locked away in the loft along with my air rifles.
It's very quiet where I live and my next door neighbour patrols the street three times a day.Home invasion isn't a concern.I really can leave my door unlocked without worry.

Quick glance round....... candles and matches, hefty poker in fireplace, knives in kitchen next door, large collie dog and something else I will not be describing.
