Self Defense

I took Molly for our usual walk this morning and I got to thinking that if something does come at us, I have nothing to defend ourselves with. I would really rather not take a pistol because I really do not want to take a chance on shooting Molly and I really do not want to kill anything else either. The best I could do was my Rawlings Adirondack Ron Cey Model P302 autographed baseball bat. I just hope the bear doesn't know anything about baseball. I do not think my .22 Smith and Wesson pistol would do much damage and I can see it now. My Clint Eastwood impersonation: "Well, we just can't let you slap all of the ass off of us." The bear: "Who's we, sucka?" Me: "Molly, Smith & Wesson, and me," and I go to blasting. All of my shots miss and I piss the bear off and then me and Molly run like a couple of school girls.
