You know, for those “Self Defense ” purposes.
A sock covered baseball bat is a really effective home defense weapon. If they grab the bat, the sock will make the bat slip out of their grasp and you can continue beating them until their brains are leaking out of their ears.
Make sure to pass this along to all your loved ones.
Except that shady fucking cousin who does all the Meth.
He can find out the hard way.
My favorite brand of bat is the Remington 870 with 3′ magnum shells loaded with #4 shot. No sock required. š

Have you seen the handy “Shockwave”? “Half the bat, all the buckshot.” I should be in marketing…

A Shockwave with a CT Lasersaddle, an OPSol, and 10 Aguila Minis (9 +1) makes for an easy to handle and aim deterrent.

Just make sure those mini rounds cycle through it, many won’t, even the manual operated pumps.
The new Cold Steel #92SFX Trench Shovel is also a winner. The spade is easier to attach a sign to and if someone feels a little frisky, makes a good close quarters tool.

Used to always have an aluminum baseball bat in the back seat, until I decided it was too obvious. Now it’s my golf clubs and a 4-cell flashlight.

If you carry a baseball bat in the car, have a glove too.
Your lawyer will thank you for it.

And a ball and cleats. “left over from practice, your honor….”
Just make sure you have actually used them in the last three months.

Always remember to store the baseball bat in a location where it’s handy, but out of sight. And, wherever you keep the bat keep a baseball glove and baseball with it. That way, later when you’re talking with the investigating officer who is considering charging you for using a weapon, your defence is that the bat was not a weapon, it was simply the first thing that came to hand when you were forced to defend yourself.
You’re welcome… š

I’m a firm believer in Mr. Pom (OC spray), Mr. Ruger, and Mr. Mossberg for assistance in a melee…
Always carry extra OC spray, I find that 5 is not too bulky.
