Bats are great if you’re going to a ball game, and yes, they CAN be used for self defense, BUT with all the home invasions these days, a firearm is the way to go.

R’ Kahane made up the slogan “every Jew a 22”, but if you search on google, you’ll find that he also (really) said “I would have said every Jew a 9 millimeter, but it didn’t rhyme!”

While you are correct that it IS almost impossible to get a carry permit in NYC, you CAN get a premises (i.e. home) or a business permit for a handgun. Also, though it takes a little time, it is also quite easy to get a rifle/shotgun permit, which can really ruin any home invader’s day. Of course possessing a firearm does demand maturity, and learning how to safely use it and store it. A small price to pay to be able to defend your home and family.
As the saying goes…
