<p>real talk, if you can't get a gun get a knife. a big fucking scary knife. not the tactical black blade pocket knife shit, get something big and shiny. most people can rush you and take a hit or two from a bat. virtually no one is charging you when you have a big ass knife.</p>
<p>if you're too squeamish for a knife, get a hammer. it probably wont intimidate a robber, but a baseball bat would just piss them off if you hit them, a hammer cant be blocked as easily, if they try to block with their forearm or hand you just broke their arm/hand.</p>
<p>if you're average size or smaller, just get a tazer. the type of people who break in and dont run when someone is home can probably kick the shit out of you. even if you're a big weight lifter, the goal is to out crazy the intruder and make them run. scream like you're william wallace, shit take it a step farther and scream like you're real life mel gibson.</p>
<p>in case you're ever in a situation where a bat is all you have, dont swing it like you're hitting a baseball. put the grip end in your dominate palm (so the bat is inline with your forearm) and use your non-dominate hand to steady it about half way down.</p>
<p>basically use it like a spear instead of swinging. if your lucky you'll get a shot to their face. if they try to block you've at least got a chance of glancing through their hands and getting them in the face.</p>
<p>side note: your door is most likely not secure, it doesnt matter how many locks you have if the door frame is 30 years old and already split. it's a bitch to fix, but if you really care about home security you need a metal frame or else anyone can kick it in. even then they can just break a window to get in. no matter what you do it will only take someone a couple minutes to get in if they want to.</p></pre>One_Left_Shoe: <pre><blockquote>
<p>basically use it like a spear</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Maybe I should just use a spear instead of a bat. Putting a big, shiny, blade at the end of a long stick that if swung won't do much, but it puts distance between me and an intruder. Also, "man fends off intruder with spear" would make for a great headline.</p></pre>Thin_Foil_Hat: <pre><p>I actually have a spear that I intend to use for home defence if I have to</p>

<p>we're talking about people who have a baseball bat for self defense, obviously a gun is better and changes everything.</p>
<p>if you dont have a gun and you're trying to attack and kill an intruder you're an idiot, that person just broke into your house, you have no idea if they are armed or not.</p>
<p>it doesnt matter how big/bad you are, getting stabbed/shot can kill you. in every single situation, the homeowner is better off if the robber just runs away than getting in a physical fight.</p>
<p>i'm a big guy, i've fought off 3 muggers at the same time when i was young and dumb. that shit is stupid, anyone of them could have had a knife and stabbed me and i would have died that night.</p>
<p>fighting is the absolute last resort, you're life is more important than your shit. for fucks sake, who doesnt even have insurance? it's a hassle, but i'll rebuy my stuff any day over dying </p></pre>Sinai: <pre><p>I'm from Texas.

<p>Then again, it's Texas, so I have a shotgun and two pistols on hand.

<p>Too many people don't understand this. As someone who enjoys shooting firearms recreationally, I hear way too often that they don't understand why you can't shoot someone in the leg to "scare them away" or why you can't shoot them if they are running away. </p>
<p>The only time you should ever pull the trigger is if you are in fear of your life and you are prepared to neutralize the threat. If you are not in fear of your life, do not fire, including if they are running.</p></pre>DontRadicalizeMeBro: <pre><p>But what if they took my pizzarolls?</p></pre>geekometer96: <pre><p>The painful burning in their mouth will be enough to knock them out.

<p>In my personal life, with the people I have known, there has been 1 friend who avoided being robbed by showing a gun in Nicaragua, one girl who was grievously injured by a bullet shot at her boyfriend while she was in the car with him, 1 friend who's 2 10-yr-old childhood friends both died in an accident-suicide incident, and the guy mentioned above. I'm not anti-gun, but I am leery of a lot of the gun-blazing-self-defense shit I hear.</p>
