May the weapon be deployed quickly?
For a weapon to be effective, you must be able to deploy it quickly. If a weapon cannot be deployed easily, such as with a folding knife, then it would not be very effective for self-defense. Some say, “Any weapon is better than none at all,” but this is not necessarily true. It is better to have your hands and attention free to use for self-defense than it is to have them tied up fumbling to get a weapon deployed.
