Was having a chat with some friends recently and they were telling me about a recent break in, they heard people downstairs in the middle of the night, the guy got up and grabbed the baseball bat he keeps in the bedroom and ran down the stairs to confront the intruders - who in the meantime had heard the movement and gone.
I was surprised by two things, that he had gone to confront the intruders at all, but I was more surprised at the fact he had a baseball bat in his bedroom specifically as a weapon.
Forgot about this and then yesterday in work heard another story, some neighbours of a workmate had people trying to break in recently - they couldnt gain access and left. But the neighbours son had heard them and was waiting in the shadows with a weapon so that if they did gain access he was ready for them.
Do people generally tend to keep weapons around for home security? Its not something Ive ever considered doing, Id be afraid the weapon would be taken from me and used against me.
What do other people think?
