Extendable baton probably. Or nunchuck. Easy enough to carry, decent reach, doesn't require much training for reasonable effectiveness, visual deterrent when you get them out

A torch/flashlight

>Or nunchuck
you want to hurt yourself?

Halberd

You don't have to throw the thing around like bruce Lee for it to be effective. A few hours of practice and you should be able to deliver a decent hit without smashing your own teeth out.

A samurai sword folded 1000 times over ,heh,might even get the kick out of 3000 times over pure ashen volcano dust with fine red ribben after a bowl of traditional dumplings

A baton has follow through power and won't bounce back to hit your knuckles.
I guess nunchucks have some advantages for breaking guards and locks but

Crusty well used cum sock filled with old dirty pennies

It’s called a nigger beater

Fill a jar with shit mayo and cum. Glass apple juice bottle and throw at someone. Just just buy a soda in a glass bottle and hit em . No one is going to know if it's a weapon

In a number of places carrying items for self defence can be illegal. which removes a number of options like knives, batons or nunchuks outside of the home.

on the other hand you can usually carry a walking stick fine
