Not saying I wouldn't still keep the bat. But honestly, I'm sort of a pacifist as far as guns are concerned. I don't see them being necessary for most people in a modern society. (Yeah, I understand the whole "we need them to defend us from a evil government or criminals" argument. I'm not looking to get into a debate about it.)
Also, Using a bat is more heinous than a gun? What society are you from? Someone can be subdued but not killed with a bat, but a gun puts them down for good.

I would rather stop the threat cleanly with a firearm. I'd also rather subject myself, my family to far less physical risk by not thinking I can macho it out with a baseball bat. Brain damage, broken limbs, missing teeth caused by a baseball bat are widely viewed as inhumane, regardless of the situation - self defense included. > I don't see them being necessary for most people in a modern society. You should share that view with the next police officer you see carrying a firearm. In the US, any will do. > What society are you from? I'm from the United States of America. US courts, even in the most self-defense averse areas tend to agree with this view.
