Lol funny the country we fought a revolutionary war to free ourselves from can now use the bats that our own fellow citizens in Kalifornia are banned from using.

5 Star comment:

5.0 out of 5 stars Cuts looters off at the knees
This bat is perfectly weighted and will suit any UK shop-owner looking to protect their property.

Thanks to the ergonomic handle, one easy swing should be enough to shatter patellas, skulls or any other bone on your targeted looter. Personally, I would recommend also investing in some fingerless gloves for extra grip.



Thats great, but what will you do when a criminal walks in with a gun?

My brother bought one about a year ago. Easier to swing than a cricket bat I suppose...

Must the world associate our passtime hobbies with violence?

Not good for our image that is already tarnished due to Iraq and Afghanistan sports.

I'd have a cricket bat with big nails in the end. OOOH, now that would leave a mark.

Good point, baseball bat beats the English cricket bat due to much less air resistance when swiging at unfortunate target.

Note to self, buy couple of more baseball bats just in case the hard landing recession fears materialize lol

Buy some more golf clubs.

Then there is good ol Tancredo revenge.

Alex Jones had the Watsons on today urging everyone in London to buy baseball bats and hammer nails through them. HA! Who the hell would want to live in a densely populated city without a gun??

Myself as well . Being practical , I would suggest they probably already have cricket bats , and could avoid the new purchase .
