I just go back to my previous statement of getting a normal 12 gauge shotgun. Keep it in arms length, and you will probably be able to get it fast enough to ward off an attacker. You can also carry pepper spray that will be more readily available and may buy you some time. Don't go out and buy a big freakin' SL-20 flashlight and then beat up a bunch of stuff with it so it looks like a club, and then tell everyone it can be used as one. Anything, including flashlights, that you intend to use as a club, will be club once you air that intention to a peace officer. I have found ASPs on people before and not arrested them for it though just because I personally feel that the whole club thing is a really stupid law. However I was very "liberal" if you will in arresting people, because I just thought so many laws we have on the books are stupid and it was my discretion. I however was in the minority and have no more desire to work in law enforcement, so don't go around carrying a weapon your not supposed to have!

Get a 12 gauge 870 and keep it behind your seat. I did this until I had turned 21, and then after when I was waiting on my CHL. I used a Remington 870 Marine Magnum.
