BARUNG without question. The first week in our new apartment (12 years ago) I was faced with protecting my wife and home with a 19c barung in one hand and the other keeping my wife back. If the intruder broke through the door (a strong possibility at the time) then what comes first through the door way becomes "surgically removed".

Fortunately, in the end, this did not happen and the police took care of everything when they arrived.

I have had close encounters with the need to use my sticks a couple of times (same apartments - now we no longer live there

).
