As a purely legal thing, shooting someone and hitting them with a bat
is pretty much the same thing.

There are no laws dealing with unregistered bats and you don't need a
permit to own or carry one, not even in New York. :-)

I guarantee you, if a bunch of guys were carrying baseball bats on
Wall Street this week, they would be arrested.

As soon as you threaten someone with it, a bat becomes a weapon, just
like a gun.
The strange thing is, I have a permit to carry a gun, even my machine
gun but I can't carry a switchblade knife or brass knuckles.



... and if you take that bat and cut about 7 inches out of the middle and
replace it with chain or rope, you can't carry it either
