Disabled and dangerous: What do you carry?

I know for a fact that I am not the only one out there that carries weapons on them when they go out.

I am just interested to find out what other disabled or wheelchair-bound individuals carry for self-defense. I myself I am a C5-C6 incomplete quadriplegic and I am definitely armed when I go out. I am fully paralyzed from the chest down but I have the ability to squeeze my fingers and make a fist so that is how I'm able to grasp a knife handle.

I know that disabled individuals look like an easy target for criminals and I want to be as prepared as possible if somebody decided to attack me or I try to grab ahold of me. I am not about half measures because if somebody grabs ahold of me then in my mind they are willing to do much more than just grab me. The way I look at the situation is if I get grabbed, they will get cut. It is simple as that. I don't have the luxury of thinking that a person isn't going to do me harm because the fact is if I get pulled out of my chair I am essentially completely defenseless. I have to do everything in my power to make sure that does not happen.

I carry three knives at all times when I go out. I keep two ready to grab at a moment's notice and another tucked away because it is more of a multi tool. One knife is attached under my armrest with only the handle sticking out to where nobody even notices it and I also have a neck knife that I carry around, as well. The neck knife is a Cold Steel Bowie spike and the one attached under my armrest is a CRKT Minimalist Keramin. The Keramin is the one that I have set up to where I can get to it very quickly and if you look it up it's shaped like a Karambit and it is razor sharp. One strike with that and whoever has a hold of me is going to wish that they never touched me. I will grab the Bowie knife if I have enough time to do so and it's also the one I use for whatever you may need a knife for during the day. It is a decent size knife with a blade length of 4 inches so it is a pretty intimidating thing to see if I ever needed to pull it out in a self defense situation and it might make that person think twice before physically assaulting me.

I also carry a more lethal item on me (if you get what I mean) as well in case a situation calls for a more lethal solution. As you can see I am prepared for any situation that might occur nowadays I believe you sure you're ready for anything that may happen.

So anyway, what kind of weapons do you carry to protect yourself on a day-to-day basis should a self-defense situation occurs with you? I am really interested to know why you may be carrying on your person and also what kind of setup you have. Looking forward to hearing from everybody!!
