Julie: You'd have to be closer?
ck: Probably, I guess. But at least you can play with it when attackers
aren't around. Think of the swing you and your kids will develop! ("Atta boy,
aim for the head! The HEAD! Okay, tell your sister that's good, too.")
I first saw the California baseball bat car weapon when I was living in
Texas, in the car of a transplanted Angeleno. Thought he was paranoid. He was.
Carrying a baseball bat in your car was not considered "adaptive" behavior (ie,
sane) in Austin, at that time. Then I moved back to California, where paranoia
is a highly adaptive, useful trait. And The Club, that locked bar on your car's
steering wheel? De rigueur here, unless you have a fancy, obnoxious alarm.

ck: Why not just get a baseball bat? A popular weapon, especially in cars, in
California. I kid you not. Baseball bats are in.

I sent this reply and when I got it in my own in-box it said it was loading
an image (something I did not put in -- it was simply text) and ended up
loading nothing. Apologies, requests for suggestions for appeasement to the
gods of technology, and another attempt.
Btw, the rubber bullet thing appeals to me in that it temporarily disables
someone w/out being life-threatening. If someone were holding my kid hostage
I'd be too terrified that I'd hit the kid with the gun rather than the perp.
