I dont risk taking weapons, get too much sh!t if caught with it/using it.
Get down to thai boxing ben, shins are a very usefull weapon :grin:
Never had to use it mate and never would unless it was a last resort of self defence believe me.. Just saying you don't know what lunitics there are out there with god knows what kinds of weapons. Better to be safe than sorry IMO..  :wink: Especially if some **** wants your car.. :angry:
Plus I sell it at work, so it's not exactly dodgy looking with it being in my car.. As I have all sorts of samples of bits and pieces like that.. Carrying a Baseball bat or similar is asking for trouble as Bobo said..

So it seems pretty much everyone has the encountered some type of rage then!
I've even de-badged the GTI  logo on the tailgate to try and reduce the have-a-go boy racers!!
Never felt the need to carry any kind of weapon, as they can be used against yourself if they get it off you!

i would not suggest carrying anything that remotely resembles a weapon in the car as I was told whislt on jury service that your car is not considered private property and you can be charged by the police with carrying a weapon in public or something like that. If you want to carry a baseball bat then put it in the boot and out of sight.

If you bring anything out with you (like baseball bat, torque wrench etc), it can be construed as threatening behaviour and you'll get done for it.

If you do put a bat in your boot make sure you put a ball in the boot with it. "Oh it was in there from yesterday officer was playing baseball in the park with some mates".  :laugh:

You dont need the gym, all you need to do is pursue a career in golf, that way you will always have a club or two in handy when in need  :laugh:
