Okay…how many readers here keep a baseball bat by the door? Just saying, sports provide us many options for home defense outside of firearms. Picture Steve Martin fighting a tennis racket duel in the movie Roxanne.
Kid in my HS got jealous drunk at a party and beat his rival with a hockey stick. Beat him to death. Or that was the story they told us in the drug and alcohol abuse section of health class anyway.
highschool’s basement (Built 1922) held a five lane lap pool, and next door, a .22cal. rifle range.. they repurposed the range a couple decades after I left.

Pencils, pens, my fingers and fist can be a dangerous weapon, too.

The weather folk have weaponized a hockey stick.

Come to think of hit, I’ve never seen a hockey player cross-checked with a baseball bat either.

It might be better to ask a hockey player that question Lucy. I’m sure Snoopy is around someplace.

Actually it was quite a clever answer. In all my years of watching baseball I have rarely if ever seen a hockey stick put into the game before!

Depending on how it’s used, a lot of things are dangerous weapons, but Franklin has a good point – I’ve never seen a hockey stick in a baseball game.

Uh Franklin, I think Lucy wants a real answer.

Can a golf club be a dangerous weapon also?

Gosh I love Franklin. He had relatively few appearances but he made his “screen” time count!

Running out of space on that list.

Neither have I, in all my years of avoiding organized sports.

Unless you are with the Detroit Tigers, after every home run, they put on a Red Wing helmet and carry a hockey stick which they try a practice swing!

A mind can be a dangerous thing so never mind it!

A baseball bat can be a dangerous weapon, too. Just ask Rat from Pearls Before Swine.

Franklin’s head is just as round as Charlie Brown’s.

I agree with panels two and four.

Hard to figure out why it would be more dangerous than a cane, walking stick or golf club for example.

Franklin’s response is a satisfactory attempt at producing a ‘Yogism’ (i.e., “When you come to a fork in the road…. take it.”).
