"For self-defense in close quarters, a baseball bat is ideal."
Eh, not really. That's still a lot of unbalanced mass and potentially excessive length. There's a reason batons and other strike weapons aren't made like bats.
- bombcar 3y agoThe best close quarter weapon, of course, is a (potentially illegally) sawed-off shotgun. The second best is something that you've extensively practiced with, and designed for the purpose.
- bluGill 3y agoA gun is a terrible close quarters weapon. A gun is so good at long range that you can typically ensure you never get into a close quarters fight, but once it becomes close quarters you want something else. (with a gun you do have to keep the muzzle pointed away from you - but one hit with the bat will damage the barrel enough that it isn't safe to fire)
- WalterBright 3y agoAren't batons made to not produce serious injury? I.e. they're meant to coerce.
