I have seen a tactical pen on here, kind of pricey but people say you cannot put a price on your safety. Just saw this article on how to make a tactical sharpie marker. I have lots of Sharpies, they are a must for all preppers because they assist in making food rotation easier. The article does say to check with local laws regarding carrying a tactical sharpie. Materials needed are: Piece of Rubber or Jar Gripper ( I used a piece of bicycle inner tube) Hot Glue Gun or Epoxy (if you want it a lot stronger, will take longer for epoxy to set) File or Bench Grinder Hack Saw Small Screw Driver (like for eyeglasses) 1 Sharpie Fine Point Marker 1 11/64 Drill bit (preferably a longer sized drill bit) Follow the link to learn how to make your own Sharpie Tactical marker- DIY Everyday Carry Sharpie Tactical Marker - Preparing for shtf
MM I prefer and carry these types of "pens" I have carried them all over the world through every type of security there is https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_...g&field-keywords=Uzi+pen&tag=survivalmonke-20
Good idea, and easy to understand instructions. Not sure how penetrative this would be with the large shoulder and body behind the point. It is also no longer a Sharpie, and might draw an illegal concealed weapon charge in certain circumstances. I carry a Zebra F301 pen, which has a steel body, when I'm out and about. This is one of the tips I picked up in Emerson's book 100 Deadly Skills. No laws against carrying a working pen, but it substitutes as a very effective close combat weapon with practice. I suppose many pens would work, especially metal bodied ones, but the SEALs prefer the Zebras and they are supposedly strong enough to penetrate a human skull with enough oomph behind them, and for $2 I can't complain about the price.
