Baseball bat ???
Seriously ???
Try a shotgun. Or carbine. Or pistol.
Too fast, and not nearly as satisfying.
I’m not shooting a firearm (especially a shotgun??) toward an occupied crib. I’m gonna crush that creep’s skull with a bat, drag his ass into the hallway and then shoot him if he twitches.
Fat lotta good a gun would have done.
They slept through the entire break-in and didn’t know anyone had been in the house till a neighbor found items in the yard and they saw the camera recordings.
The intruder could have left with the kid and they would never have known it. A weapon would have been useless.
Good thing it was a burglar and not a kidnapper.
