My grandmother would send us out to pick a switch off the willow tree, with the caviat that if we didn't pick a "good" one, she would pick a "better" one. Quite an effective deterrent, for an afternoon, anyway. Happened to me many times !!!!!
As a beekeeper I always have one or more hive tools handy in my truck, and often on my person. I frequently carry them in places where knives are forbidden, or restricted in length. The cutting edges can be honed razor sharp.
I'm surprised that Alabama has restrictions on length of knives or forbidden places. What's up with that? Sounds like England.
Military Installations. Redstone Arsenal for example forbids knives over 3".

When I was working in Dallas when I was 20, I and two friends got in an argument with a black guy and a couple of mescans. they had double-parked so when we pulled in next to them they couldn't open the car door. one pulled a screwdriver, my buddy reached down in the bed of the truck and grabbed a carpet knee kicker and hit him on the left cheek of his face, it was pretty ugly, we boogied out of there.

Five minutes is plenty of time to get a gun if anywhere near the house. And the pickup is a wonderful second choice.
But for alternatives to the alternative, for many, many years, there were times when I was too far from the house to make it into the gun room. During those times I usually had a pair of bale hooks in my hands or a Pony featherweight no 0 irrigating shovel.
The irrigating shovel was always kept very sharp for cutting sod or stubborn roots. It would have been a formidable weapon of self defense against anything but a gun. It could be used as a cudgel for less than lethal blows. Or used as the entrenching tool previously discussed, only with almost three feet of extra reach.
As a kid I heard that a few Idaho residents had been murdered with a shovel. Most often over water disputes.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
I keep a hickory hoe handle in the back of my truck, right behind the cab and close to the fuel tank fill. I'm usually not far from my cane. In 5 minutes I'll have a gun and 4 minutes and 50 seconds left to make a plan!
keep a break over bar in my truck for when I have to change a flat, sits in the side pocket of my door

The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men. In it is contentment In it is death and all you seek (Quoted from "The Bleeding of the Stone" Ibrahim Al-Koni)
Used a hymnal (church song book) to whoop up on a punk who sucker punched me in grade school. Told my parents, teacher called, got an "atta boy" from my mom.
For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat."

Day-um, a knee kicker! Bet that left a lot of marks.
