👉 An immediate weapon, also known as an instant or on-the-spot weapon, is a tool or object that can be used for self-defense or combat almost instantly without the need for preparation or acquisition. This term typically refers to items that are readily available, such as a knife, a baseball bat, or even a piece of furniture like a chair or door handle, which can be quickly grabbed and used to defend oneself against an attacker. The key aspect of an immediate weapon is its accessibility and the ability to deploy it rapidly in a threatening situation.
