Franklin Umbrella

Use Franklin umbrellas as self-defense instruments

In the unlikely situation where someone breaks into your Franklin apartment or home, it is a good idea to be prepared. This includes locking your doors every night, having an alarm system and knowing how to make self-defense instruments out of the most ordinary of items, including Franklin umbrellas. While Franklin umbrellas don't look like self-device instruments, they can be very useful if a scary situation presented itself. For example, if the grip on your Michigan umbrella is made of a strong material (i.e. ABS plastic) than you can potentially use this to knock a weapon out of an intruder's arms. Also, if you remove the Franklin umbrella canopy, you can use the ribs to potentially poke the intruder in the eye, causing them to lose their senses. Using a Franklin umbrella for self-defense should not be your first choice, but it is good to know how to protect yourself with any household tool or instrument.
