There is a lot of big talk as always in these threads. Unless you are trained and practiced in some self defense technique your likely to get yourself in more trouble, either with the law or be beaten with whatever you carry. If you are well trained in some self defense technique you probably will not need the the weapon.
To be honest if I'd made the chose to start carrying something as a weapon I would not worry if that item was illegal or not.
