Personal Protection

Heh.

On the weekend after Zimmermann’s death, Maternowski’s father drove over from Milwaukee and brought his daughter three items for personal protection inside her apartment: a black Louisville Slugger baseball bat, a 2 1/2 -foot metal pipe and a can of industrial-strength wasp killer.

You know what would work better?  A gun.  A good gun coupled with a lot of range time and training is far more effective than a bat and a can of bug spray.  For those of you who think that a gun would be “uncivilized” or something, please explain to me how bludgeoning an attacker with a bat is more civilized.
