making a weapon enough to kill or knock out

Good luck. You're going to need it.

We live in Perth mate... All he needs is a fly swatter..

Unless the mozzies start to attack aswell.

Haha yea, i dont really think they'll be coming here anytime soon. lol

I'd like to back my previous post with a real suggestion that I keep by my bed at all times.

A 2/3 size louisville slugger. The kind a kid uses in tee ball probably. I really don't know where I found one so small, but its built to last and that thing swings so fast I think I could shatter damn near any bone in the body with it. I also have a big wooden bat as well, which is good, but I can one-arm the small one with some devastating force.

Really, I'd compare it with the speed and strike force of a riot baton.

Haha, edit to add that having a ball around is a good idea. As one of my favorite rock bands say...
Joey, have you got a ball and a glove,
She asked me
What are you gonna do?
A bat is just a weapon unless there's the other two.

i suppose when the SHTF it would be very unlikely to get ahold of weapons...unless you do it illegaly

Well our 2nd Amendment is already under act. I do not have an exact source but I have heard from a bunch of people they are trying to disarm people on a small scale, being careful to not stir up to much attention. I believe they will do it state by state to make it a smooth transition. I suggest you do a little research just to be sure. If you are going to buy guns and ammunition I would do it soon in my opinion.

unfortunately im under 18 so what do i do lol

What about something simple like a staff used as a walking stick? Surely they can't object to that.. Hiking is great exercise for the heart, lungs, and muscles. Wrap a little parachute cord around the shaft, do a little decorating, and voila! you have a nice walking stick.

A staff in the hands of a competent user can be quite effective. It has reach, good weight, and can smash kneecaps, poke out eyes, or crush the skulls of attacking predators. Attach a spear point or frog gig to one, and have a serviceable hunting tool. Don't forget, they also make traversing rough terrain much simpler. You're no longer a biped, you're a triped!

Your best bet though in a SHTF situation is to learn stealth and keep a low profile. Fight only if you have to. It's not about some Rambo fantasy, it's about keeping yourself and your loved ones alive.

In that vein I'd suggest learning some basic survival skills like making a fire, rendering first aid, setting snares and traps, finding water, and navigation with a simple compass.

If your that worried about your parents then you probally shouldn't have a weapon or mabey you could grow a pair of balls and just hide something in your closet

A handful of wet sand, OR a snooker ball in a sock is a lethal weapon.
