My mother once fought off a mugger using her umbrella. The kid had a knife and tried to rob my mother as she got into her car. She just kept poking him with the umbrella and pushing him back with it until she was able to shut her car door and lock him out. She was a volunteer at the New Orleans Museum of Art then, and had just gotten done working. She drove over to the museum from where she was parked and alerted the security guard who called the police. The kid was pretty stupid, as he stayed in the area and was caught by the police. I guess it all depends on who’s wielding the umbrella.
BTW she was not a registered member of the NUA at the time.

Sweetie, you don’t get the point of using your brolly as a weapon: take it from one who’s been there!

They can have my umbrella when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

I once knew a penguin who used umbrellas as weapons.

The best weapon to counter an assault umbrella is a lead-filled snowshoe.

How often does this happen?
Every day, about a half hour after the herd of elephants runs over me..
Uptight, out of sight..

When umbrellas are outlawed, only outlaws will be dry.
