You're woken up in the middle of the night by burglars in your home. What weapon do you have in your bedroom right now to protect you?

Depends I’ve seen some that looked construction equipment. ?
Must be one hell of a piece of equipment ?
Totally lost it when I saw your response! ? You are a dangerous woman.
Burglars: We're fucked.
@beerkrump literally! LOL
@oldFloyd nah, just the only option I have LOL
@Marcie1974 yeah I guess sometimes you have to run the system in manual.
Yes it does count. Make sure batteries are fresh 24/7 ???
@IamNobody make sure batteries are fresh??? What kind of a statement is that? OBVIOUSLY my batteries are always fresh!! LMAO.
I also have a plug in vibrator so 2 options really.
I have a copy of The Room by Tommy Wisau. I’ll make the burglars watch it.

that's the best answer here (and most realistic!) RUN!
Bullshit question, almost 90% of burglaries occur with no one home. Someone comes into your home while you are asleep, they have a huge advantage and use of a weapon by you will most likely end up in your death, not theirs. People that are willing to invade a home with people in it are much more desperate and dangerous than most people will realize.

Totally agree with this. In my professional experience, it's more like 99% of the time.
Btw, I am a lawyer, not a burglar. Not sure that helped my credibility, but....
@KenChang exactly what a burglar would say
True story: Years ago I asked a not-so-bright neighbor a similar question. "What would you do if someone broke into your house to murder you and you had a gun?" He said, "I'd throw it at him".

Buddhist chimes hang on my bedroom doorknob.
No weapons in my house, apart from a toilet brush.

Princess Pup... she's fluent in licking the faces of those she knows and loves, and proficient in chewing the faces off anyone daring to enter our home, without permission.

Here in the U.K. if you keep any sort of a weapon ...even something like a cricket bat, by the bed to use in case of being burgled, then injure or kill the burglar, you will probably be charged by the police. It is called premeditation...! I know that sounds crazy, but it’s true, and it has actually happened. A man who was burgled several times, bought a gun and shot and killed one of the burglars, he ended up with a long jail sentence because it was a premeditated act!

He did shoot the guy in the back as he was running away.
UK law says you can use reasonable force. I am a joiner and having an axe in my bedroom is not premeditated. It is simply where I store my tools (I live in a flat)
@273kelvin I am a pensioner and have no good reason to keep tools such as an axe in my bedroom, so if I did, it would be considered that I had intent to use it. If I then did use it, I could be charged...that has happened. Not in the case where Mr. Martin shot the guy, but in another one last year. The law, as they say, is an ass!
My cat would probably wake me up, as she jolts from the bed when anyone enters the house. My roommates, who are up all night, would probably notice the attempt to break in. If the burglars made it past my two roommates and my cat, they would be making a mistake to try entering my bedroom with my arsenal.

He's gotta get past 5 dogs first before he encounters the 357.

A ww2 bayonet. But I have Molly, a 75 lb. pit bull that sleeps on the floor next to me. I pity the fool who breaks into my house while I am not here. I would have to rent a carpet cleaner when Molly finished with the idiot.
