...until I moved to Chicago. Definitely going to take my tax dollars elsewhere soon, and no it's not just about the CCW; this place is so backwards and fucked up. However, if I was a criminal, especially a violent one, there would be few better places in this country to go to so easily prey on law abiding citizens.
OP, are you allowed to carry a bat as a device intended for "self defense" only? I know when I was working as an MP (albeit in this country), we were trained that something like this could be considered a weapon, depending on the intent of the owner. My impression was if you needed the bat for baseball, you were ok (make sure to use it and get some good marks on it, maybe carry at least a glove too). However, if you answered us with the notion that the bat was for self defense, I was under the impression that you could incriminate yourself that way. Same thing with knives; I kept one that was for "utility" and never had an issue, but if that same knife had been for self defense, then I may have had problems.
That being said, this was on a military base in the US, so it probably has nothing to do with the way things are in The Hat, but check it out to make sure carrying a bat for self defense isn't an issue where you are.
