What weapons do everyone here actually carry on the street for self-defense?

To answer my own question:
I carry pepper spray and sometimes an 8 inch maglight (which is a steel flashlight the length of my hand).
I have been working on an open crook walking cane and may carry that soon. I am in love with canes now. I have the Canemasters tapes and a few other tapes using walking canes from other styles and am amazed. They are 100% legal to carry anywhere in the US - including airplanes. The throws, hooks, takedowns, and even the simple strikes that can be done with a cane are right in line with what self defense should be.

A little paranoid are we?  Besides my hands/feet and such, I have carried and used a kobutan for a keyring. I mostly like it becaue it's easy to slip into my back pocket (there's a metal clip that goes through my belt loop also) and it's easy to get to. I also don't like carrying my keys in a front pocket. |

A sniper's rifle. I can kill someone I don't like the looks of from a kilometre away.
