Considering that the dude in Dayton killed 9 people in 30 seconds, the question has to be, how long did it take this guy to kill 4 people?

Amazing that the Ohio shooter was gunned down by police 32 seconds after his first shot.
 
I bet that Las Vegas shooter could've killed the same amount of people with a knife. Knives have no other purpose than to kill people. Ban em

I’d take the baseball bat. I think a golf club is too likely to break after one good solid whack to a skull. There’s a little more resistance there than a golf ball offers.

I have been hit in the head/face by both (got stitches both times.)

The bat knocked me off my feet and left me unconscious. I have a wicked scar on my eyebrow from that one.

The golf club split my eyelid open (I could see through my eyelid when I closed my eye) and split my scalp open. Didn't knock me out though and didn't even knock me off my feet and I was pretty much fine other than blood spraying everywhere. (Still have the scar on my eyelid)

Good choice imo. The baseball bat is more effective.

I have a shortened version of a baseball bat hanging from the coat rack by my front door. Just in case. Pretty damn brutal weapon. I would take it over a knife.

Honest question: is Salt Lake City or Utah in general considered more dangerous compared to Tallinn, Riga, Helsinki, Warsaw or Prague that you need to have at least baseball bat in your house or apartment for protection just in case? Is the chance of having a burglary or direct attack in night that high? In our case, i think our doors are strong enough to keep away those who expect to stole tablets, laptops or cash (although in Baltic countries it is not practically needed to have much cash at home - you can pay everywhere with a card) and for "Ocean 11" level of thieves we do not have anything valuable. I guess the last robbery in our apartment building from some apartment (we have 60 apartments) was in the last century before the complex had metal doors. Of course, never say never (last burglary from my house was in 2009 - for some reason the thief stole old chainsaw and some other minor stuff during the night from our quite poor looking utility building which did not had hardened doors etc.

Salt lake City is quite safe imo. I don't ever feel like I'm in danger. And I live in one of the worse parts of SLC. I walk around in the wee hours of the morning with no fear.

I have the bat as a just in case and would bet that I never use it.

I lived in a relatively safe area in NYC and had a guy that was high as a kite try to walk into my home. We locked our doors when we lived there, so I was able to solve the issue without a physical confrontation. I was ready and willing to defend myself and my children with force if it became necessary.

I now live in a suburb between Provo and SLC. It’s an incredibly safe place to live. Which was one of the major factors that led us to move here.
 
I feel 200% safe where I live (a small suburb just north of Salt Lake). That said, at least a couple times a year there are break ins in my neighborhood. While my neighborhood is pretty safe, we live pretty close to a couple of really rough/scary/dangerous areas. I’m prepared to defend myself and my family.
