Always carry a weapons, folks no matter what your local government says.

Anything can be a weapon, if you use your ingenuity and imagination. Guns are just the easiest to use without using your imagination. But they have two serious drawbacks: 1. You have to aim and fire directly in line with the barrel; and 2. They run out of bullets at some point. That can be the undoing of any mass shooter. But having a gun to shoot back with is a good thing.
