She should sell the home addresses of health insurance executives.
And golf clubs. She should definitely sell golf clubs.
I used to carry what I called a "cracker whacker," on food deliveries. It was a miniature Louisville Slugger baseball bat. I cut off the last ¼" and used a ⅓" drill bit to create a cavity inside. I then dropped in a 3.5 lb round bar of lead that had about 2" of room on one end to shift back and forth as you swung the bat. I then resealed the bat using the cap I took off, some wood epoxy and 4 finishing nails, just in case.
That thing would easily have shattered a kneecap if I had ever had to actually use it, rather than just brandishing it.
As all the gun guys say "better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6".
This quote sounds like a promo for a porno.
You'd rather be dead than deal with fussy legal shit?
It's just kinda the implied meaning of what you said? My comment can be rephrased as "it's better to be alive and in court than dead" to which you responded "guaranteed the people who say that haven't had to deal with the court". So if that's not what you meant then what did you mean?
Alright.
So, following what you said, people who would rather be alive and in court over dead haven't had to deal with hostile litigation. So the superior stance to have on this binary is that it's better to be dead. Because dealing with hostile litigation is so much trouble its preferable to just die. Am I missing something? Am I misinterpreting?
Ok lol. Take it easy
financing that shit is free since in a criminal proceeding it would be appointed to you, i think the same might be true in a civil matter, but im not sure how that would even apply here.
The mini version of a Louisville Slugger is only 18" long and 2" thick at the thickest and longest points. Having a glove and ball wouldn't give me any sort of deniability since the thing is so small that I can literally fit it in some of my pockets without it being seen.
There is no plausible deniability with this thing, I would have better deniability with an old school 6 D-cell Maglight. Hell even a 4 D-cell Maglight would have more mass than my cracker whacker.
The point of the thing was to make something that wouldn't set off metal detectors, and would look like a small stick that no one would need to look too closely at.
Jesus Christ dude, a Louisville Slugger by itself could shatter a kneecap
I think they're talking about the small souvenir ones. They may still be able to, but as they're much shorter the force is weaker. Along these lines, it'd be better to add a larger weight towards the end of the bat instead of a rod all the way through. You want as much mass on the far end as possible, and maybe if you care about weight then less mass closer to you.
You're correct. It was one of the small souvenir ones. I added the shifting weight so that it would slide to the far end of the bat as I swung it, drastically increasing angular momentum
Camden?
Unrelated fact, but on the topic of golf clubs, they are pretty slender. I think they may bend if you hit a large object with them.
That's why Casey Jones traded the golf club for a hockey stick in the first movie. At which point he opened a can of whoop ass all over the foot clan thugs.
