What are some idea for gun-free home defense?
Firearms are impractical to get in my country, and I can't afford it either, but any other weapons have pretty much no restrictions for owning at home, other than being 18.
What are some choices, like knives, axes, etc.
What would you use?

Don't be a pussy anon, guns aren't everything.
I can put up a fight, and I have defended myself before, but you can't always rely on your fists.
>guns aren't everything.
They are when the other guy has one
a gun
Depends on your home layout. Number one thing is to prevent entry, so you need a way to barricade your doors and windows. If they have made entry, you must slow them down, some kind of deployable razor wire would be ideal but if it's not available and your flooring is suitable you could go for lube or something to make them slip.
While they are clearing the barricade you must harass and attrite them by e.g. throwing axes or poking them with a spear
No need to bother with space when you're home, indeed.
I've been thinking of making a homemade spear or something like that, with a bowie knife or a dagger maybe.
Pepper spray, and some kind of mid-length melee weapon which can be used indoors but has better range than a knife. A short spear is probably ideal, something along the lines of the classic naval "boarding pike". A baseball bat is pretty darn good as well.

shitty for home defense, they require you to get very close to your assailant.

Just use a crossbow
im sorry to break it to you anon, but if your c**try won't let you to have guns, chances are they won't let you use any other deadly forces to defend your home either
Actually, self defense cases aren't so bad here. I'm a lawyer, so it's okay in that sense.
Crossbow or similar. With a broadhead on the bolt, a home invader will bleed out most rikki-tik.
Also, one of those high wattage lasers. 3W to 5W will fry the eyeballs of anyone who breaks in. You'll need to wear goggles while using it, though, because even reflections or scatter can damage your own eyes.
Underrated, but Danes are my favorite.

You do have one good ol' weapon, though.

what country?
Get something heavy and practice with it every day for ten minutes to half an hour. Any tool can be a weapon if you wield it right.
Ausgay here. My funs are locked up and unloaded to appease Mr. Howard, so I have to resort to legal methods in the rare event a boong gets ripped on glue/paint and tries to climb through my window. As I was warned the first time it happened and I gave mumbler a few swift cracks with a purpose-made cudgel, if he'd not hobbled off and instead I'd made it to court, I'd be fricked for keeping a purpose-made weapon for wounding intruders. You need to make a set of weaponry part of your household, so that if you end up in front of a magistrate, you can truthfully testify that you grabbed the first object at-hand to defend yourself. Personally, I'd avoid cheap gimmicky shit, like the self-defence night stand that breaks into shield and bat, because that'll look just as bad as keeping a boong-beater by your bed. I'd instead go to a place that does furniture restoration and find a good solid lamp made from hardwood, or one of those 90's industrial numbers that are just heavy gauge steel pipe. Keep it unplugged and dismantle it just enough that you can easily attest to simply ripping it out of the socket and going for it. I've elected to keep a "scrapwood work surface" with a handle in the centre nearby, because the second time I had an intruder, they hurled bricks. Best of luck, OP.
What the frick is wrong with Australia.
Prisoner island heritage
Australia is generally really safe, I just happen to live in direct proximity to a clan of Aboriginals who've been an absolute menace to the community for its entire history; roughly 120 years. As for our self-defence laws, they're really fricked for a variety of reasons, but the biggest one has to be a combination of lower rates of violent crimes and disarmament making lethal self-defence an extreme result. It naturally skews blame towards the defender, because without the home-invader frothing at the mouth on the stand, there's the natural assumption that they were there to commit property crime and posed only moderate physical danger if opposed. A judge can't say "Well, the intruder was Aboriginal, had 24 cans of VB and smoked meth prior to the robbery, so obviously he was irrational and violent. Case dismissed." because the racial justice lobby would have them bent over a barrel within the week. Funnily, if
was right, we'd actually have great self-defence laws to defend all the civilised settlers from those filthy convicts. Unfortunately, after the period of heightened criminality that ended with the recovery from the Great Depression, much kinder and merciful rulings began to set precedent, and being a reformer became a great way to advance your legal career into a political one.
It depends on the laws of your country.
Because depending on how draconian your country is, you might wanna defend your home with less-leathal or non-bloody force.
See, beating an intruder to ground meat with an axe might be highly effective but depending on your country, its laws and judges, you could be seen as a lunatic instead of a regular dude who just tried to defend his ass.
Germany is a prime example for this.
Then we gotta look at your living conditions.
Just MY PERSONAL LIST of stuff that should do the trick.
1) A single-piece (non-folding) military (-style) shovel / entrenching tool like the Cold Steel Speznaz shovel. Because you can chop and thrust with it, it's short and handy (narrow hallways) and you can use the flat side to beat someone's ass with a 2mm thick steel plate.
2) Collapsible baton. Perhaps with a tonfa-style handle. Thousands of police agencies around the globe cannot be wrong.
3) A long-ass MagLite-style flashlight made from metal. 4 to 6 D-Cell batteries in a metal tube make one hell of a blunt force trauma. One hit could be enough to turn the shoulder of an intruder into a marca
4) A simple axe-handle made from hickory or ashwood. Lighter and much more handy than a baseball bat still a tough beater. Also doesn't look as bad infront of a judge
5) A hammer. Perhaps the #1 tool in crime statistics. Rather short (which is both good and bad) and absolutely devastating. Plus: Plausible deniability "Your honor, I had this hammer because I wanted to hang up some pictures on my wall".
You might(!!!) want to use mace/pepperspray too. But keep in mind that it can be a problem for you in your own apartment/house. So get one that sprays either foam or one single fat jet. Not that mist or spray shit.
But never use mace on its own, only to distract an attacker before you use your real stuff.
Also get yourself some of the heaviest duty zip ties you can find in your hardware store. You want to make sure you can handcuff an attacker
wakizashi, ass opposed to swords, shotswords can be swunged in yuor house
Some sort of polearm gardening tool. Sharpened shovel would also work.
Have you considered a long range penis remover.
This billhook thing was what I originally had in mind but I forget what the farming version is called. I've seen them in hardware stores.
So many morons in here saying "pepper spray." A sword anon. A sword. It is the pistol before people had pistols
Yeah, because the interior of an apartment or a house is the bestest place to swing a sword, huh? OP: a Flamberge Bidenhander it is. Don't accept anything shorter than 5' 10"
Gladius.
>Yeah, because the interior of an apartment or a house is the bestest place to swing a sword, huh?
Yes, it is. Hence why I said sword in not spear. How big do you think swords are anon? And do you think cutting swords are the only ones that exist?
A zweihander
>b-b-b-but it's too big and unwieldy
only if you're a pussy, simple as

If you can't defend your home with a gun, chances are you live in a cucked country where you'd be in more trouble for harming your invaders than the invaders would be harming you.

A smallsword, saber or cutlass. Sure there are better options, but I just want to see more news stories with swords.
how are you gonna get through a guy holding a hallway with a spear?
If OP learns how to fight with a spear in a hallway great, but chances are he's got zero experience and would frick it up.
Reminder that every single army that ever had to fight in conditions like these chose single handed slashing blades, even if they were equipped with spears as their primary weapon.
Which is why I recommended a gladius as a sword option and didn't even mention spears. Sword or mace is going to serve you MUCH better than trying something like holding a hallway with a spear. Someone who really knows what they're doing can pull that off but OP guaranteed is not one of those people.
A cheap "battle ready" short sword like a gladius or mace of some sort and a strap shield like a heater. DO NOT buy a flail. Save up to buy a steel or leather breastplate or a brigandine coat you can slip on as well.
Get into something like HEMA and practice often. If you do LARPy stuff instead of the more martial arts focus do full contact fighting like Belegarth or SCA where the people fighting you really are trying to beat the shit out of you. Also go learn an unarmed martial art.
