Note: this appears to be a milder entry in the ongoing saga of “Florida Man”.

The moral: Don’t bring a nail-studded baseball bat to a gunfight.

“with ...10 long metal nails sticking out from different angles ...”

In his defence, Have you ever tried to line up the nails in your bat in perfect order?

He should have kept the door shut and called the cops (with shotgun at the ready). Instead he opened the door and fired THREE warning shots before shooting the perp in the leg. This is just weird.

Shaler told detectives it was all a joke and he'd walked there with the bat wearing a mask to "thank" his former boss, though would not tell them what he was thanking him for.

Would’ve been easier to wrap it with barbed wire and call it Lucille.

I assume Shaler was merely showing off the new nail-studded bat he received for Christmas. Must have been a b____ to wrap.

“...Shotgun against baseball bat studded with spikes. ...”

Yikes...

“...After a struggle in the doorway, Shaler swung the bat and the man fired the gun a third time next to his leg, “still not wanting to hurt (Shaler),” Scribner stated...”

The next time Shaler approached him, he shot him in the leg. Shaler said, “Ow, that hurt,” and crawled away, according to Scribner....”

He discharged the shotgun FOUR times during the course of this struggle...

“..”Ow, that hurt,” ...”

Understatement of the year.
