What kind of protection do you have against the criminals?

I lock my doors and sleep with a metal baseball bat beside my bed. LOL Seriously! I really do have a metal baseball bat beside me! But I also have dogs that would be totally upset if someone entered my home un-invited. They would be sure to let me know! I don't see them attacking. Because they are really all bark and no bite. Although I am beginning to wonder if Lilly, aka Mini Cujo, would attack an intruder. ha ha Other than that, I do not have much to protect myself...besides my wits and training on how to take a person down/injure a person. :) Yes, I may be small, but I can hurt someone bigger than myself pretty well. ha ha

I keep several knives throughout my room, there's even one underneathe my pillow, I fall asleep with my hand wrapped around the table. Our neighborhood's slightly dangerous, but I'm no stranger to danger, lol. I've taken down people who wanted to murder me before and survived worse..so I think I could handle a burglar okay. I don't carry any weapons with me, but I recfkon my book bag'd make a mighty fine weapon in a pinch. Since it's always filled with heavy books, papers, and my laptop lol.
