A bolt action .22 rifle is an even poorer weapon in tight quarters against three guys. There's plenty of room in my house to swing a baseball bat. In either case, I didn't say "the ideal weapon" would be a baseball bat. I was being sarcastic in choosing a last-resort weapon over the bolt-action 22 rifle. (and no, there would be no danger of any intruder succeeding in taking a baseball bat from me.)
It might be better to retreat to a locked room, call the fuzz ...
Not going to happen. Not me. Not in my home. Not ever.
“In either case, I didn’t say “the ideal weapon” would be a baseball bat.”
I know that, it wasn’t meant as a criticism.
