Louisville Slugger. My weapon of choice.
Lets be real, a knife doesn't do much against a rock. And in the dark it doesn't offer quite the visual deterrence (without making it very visible) that a nice baseball bat does. You can visibly leave a bat hanging out of your trunk or at the edge of a pickup bed if you're feeling nervous due to someone nearby.
And, you can inflict serious, disabling pain with far less potential for manslaughter then you could with a gun or knife. One negative is you can't really handle a firearms with a bat.
No permit or anything else needed too. Obviously you can't tote it out with you when fishing, but it's still ideal when you're at your vehicle which is where a lot of these incidents go down, I would imagine.
I'm still trying to confirm who the victim is of this incident. I have a bad feeling it's someone I know, as he was heading there in the AM that day and haven't heard from him since.
