Is there any particular problem with the bat? How about pepper spray?

The bat will get you problems from the police.

The telescoping steel baton , either16 inch ($15 on sale), or 26 inch can be held descretely in your pocket collapsed, eliciting no comment, until you need it (at which point a quick snap of the wrist extends it to full length). It is a great fashion accessory that should be part of every freeper's wardrobe

Just keep in mind that it can be considered a lethal weapon (as would be the bat) and aim for arms and knees and avoid the head.

Very good SoM. I didn't want to bring it up because anyone armed in Ca. is considered a dangerous maniac but since you mentioned it, I already have a 21 incher. Incidentally, Cheaper than Dirt is one of my favorites. This very moment I am awaiting a new .357 Sig barrel for one of my Sigs from them!
