Abstract: A hand weapon that appears to be in innocuous key carrying device. The device includes a hollow handle member having a removable end cap to which a number of keys are connected through an axially movable plunger that passes through the cap into the interior of the handle. The inner end of the plunger is secured to one end of a relatively long cord normally stored in the handle, and the other end of the cord is secured to the handle itself. Coacting means are provided on the plunger and handle for releasably holding the end cap in position on the handle but the user can release the end cap which permits the keys to be hurled at an attacker.
