              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.

                  Yeah, and those guys have guaranteed never had to fight hostile litigation / prosecution and finance it.

                  It’s better to be alive and in court than dead

                  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?

          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.
