You somehow managed to start a baseball vs cricket debate in a thread about a guy fending off street thugs? Unbelievable.
Hey, I give him credit for bringing it back from a second amendment CCW stat-fest to at least some proper discussion about bats:p

Tastier justice would be seeing one of those retards get run over.
I really shouldn't go there, but It would be a bit humorous to see that rage-dood rolling around on the ground after his foot got run over like the grape stomping lady.

hispanic gangbanger? LOL. he was looking at your car? oh shit, good thing you had a gun.

kid gets beat. you hear of a telephone? some shit called 911 idk. plus your in a crowded lot. STARE DOWN THAT MOFO!!!

you get a flat tire and people are giving you weird looks? jesus fucking christ, IIIIII am full of lulz? lmfao

and it 25% of adults carried weapons, that would mean a shit ton of criminals would have weapons. some crimes would go down, many would go up, and there would be shootouts in the streets. you fail

I'd love to hear more stories about where guns have come in handy for you guys.

Man, you really need to join a high school debate club and learn how it's done. " jesus fucking christ, IIIIII am full of lulz? lmfao" is not an effective rebuttal.

No sane human being is curious wether a firearm is more intimidating than a sword.
I don't know about that. The majority of people have been probably been cut, know what being cut feels like, how a cut bleeds, and how long a cut takes to heal. Being threatened with a sword could be much more intimidating because it's more "real".

On the other hand, most people (present company excluded) haven't been shot, haven't seen the immediate effects of a gunshot wound, and haven't had to deal with aftermath. The experience most have had is probably though some glorified version of it in TV, movies, or video games. In some ways, most people have been more desensitized to the idea of being shot than to the idea of being cut.

Yes a gun would probably win vs a sword, but for intimidating unarmed people in the street? If I had six people coming at me, I think I'd prefer a crappy sword over some crappy small calibre Saturday Night Special.

BTW I'd rather a guy draw a gun on me than a sword because a guy with a sword is by definition batsh*t crazy.

That was my line of reasoning as well. If some dude is crazy enough to pull out a big ass sword, I know he ain't gonna stop with couple bullets in him. Nobody ever seen "Last Samurai?"

Also, back to reality, in a close range fight, I would be 100x more intimidated by a knife or sword than a gun.

Come to think about it, considering the "batsh*t" principle, I would be even more intimidated if someone took out a cricket bat than a sword or a gun. That guy must be REALLY insane.

Lol. A couple of bullets to the heart, lungs, head, leg or CNS and he'll stop. Nevermind it'd probably be more like 5 shots, even at close range. You could also, oh, idk... RUN from the sword guy. Try running from a gun. Much more difficult.
