Baseball bat? Why on Earth do you need a baseball bat?

If you are an adult and it is not a part of your profession (minor league/major league ballplayer) you really don't need one. There's nothing in the Constitution about "Right to carry baseball bats".

If you are a child in school or little league, the appropriate authorities can get the clearance to buy baseball bats (after receiving proper training). You children should join licensed ball leagues (after they have gone through background checks).

Too often we hear about a mob in the street that assault a person who is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Gangs can kill with a baseball bat (and perps have been as young as 9 years old!!!).

I don't know about Texas but in the 'hood in New Jersey it isn't uncommon for the 35 year old family man to carry a cane with him. Makes the gangstas a little more wary.
