    If you did it today, it wouldn’t be the first. Here are some:

    • The Unbreakable Umbrella is the first one I can recall hearing of. It’s heavy (775g) and made of a composite material the manufacturer claims is good for hitting people.
    • The Streetwise Stunbrella conceals an electroshock weapon inside an umbrella.
    • Security Umbrella is another umbrella marketed as suitable for hitting people.
    • “Bulgarian umbrellas” are poison pellet guns built into umbrellas, intended for murder.
    • Windlass Steelcrafts sells an umbrella which conceals a rapier. There appear to be several similar products from other companies.

      “Stunbrella” is great. Top name. Slap a flashlight in the bottom of the handle, which can also be unscrewed off to unsheath a tanto-knife styled blade for piercing and prying (the flashlight end would essentially be the handle/pommel of this knife.)
