Except why would they not have access to makeshift weapons such as spears and regular axes, and potentially heirloom swords, like Hobbits had in their mathom houses? Heirloom swords- no, Sting was probably the only blade in the Shire. Axes- the Hobbits must have guarded theirs well, because they were not confiscated and they wielded them against the ruffians in the scouring. But besides, the average bandit is not in the Shire. The furthest I'd go beyond the lore weapons is spears, but I doubt they'd have even those.
