Aim a full 180� and +/- 15� degrees in the azimuth using the control button on one handle of this high quality, light and durable titanium walker, and shoot a highly effective round of buckshot with the trigger on the other handle (right and left handed models available.) Or better yet buy our optional inferred targeting system and customizable voice activated trigger so you need only wheeze "Hasta la vista, baby" and your defense system springs into action automatically, mowing down anything and everything in range!

I agree. OTOH, if you are an 80-year-old woman with arthritis who has to shuffle around with a walker, you probably don't have the dexterity or strength to use a throwing knife, sword, or quarterstaff,
Probably cannot hold a gun steady and pull the trigger, either. And
if she has a walker, where will she put the gun while she "shuffles"
around?
Most people using walkers for the long term put some kind of bag or basket on the front, I think. (Been quite awhile since I hung around a nursing home regularly, though -- but IIRC, Dan's uncle has a bag or something on his walker to hold a few things, including whatever glasses he may need.) A small gun would fit quite nicely in some of the bags I've seen attached to walkers.
