Hey hey hey, when I said an improvised weapon, I also said inconspicuous. The quote below depends on where you live.

Because of the use of common objects as weapons in violent crimes, many countries have made laws to prevent the use of some tools and other non-weapon objects to be used to cause harm. It is possible for a person to be detained, or even arrested, by a Law enforcement official or security personnel for carrying an object in a situation where there is no reasonable use for it. For example, While it is legal and perfectly understandable for someone to posses a kitchen knife or a hammer and keep it for use in one's domicile, it would seem highly suspicious for someone to carry a kitchen knife or a hammer concealed in his/her person or in plain sight when walking down a city street.

The sharpened comb seems like a good idea, just don't sharpen enough to make it look like it was meant for injuring rather than combing your hair.
