Great way to either go to prison or get shot. Or both.

Hey guys just wanted to chime in here, I did speak with the sheriff and he assured me that it was well within my rights to mount whatever I wanted in my trunk as long as it isn't loaded. He also added that because it will be paint matched to the car, it will be a lot easier to explain in a vehicle search that it is a show piece and it will be very easy to tell if it has been used before/recently.

I have received a few PM's about my mounting method so I'm going to post photos here. I wanted to add that I did attempt to find a clip in mount, but didn't find anything. Also because of its location, the odds of it falling out of the mount are pretty high. Therefore I went with velcro. Here's how I did it for interested parties.

Step 1: Remove bat grip tape, sand down to aluminum, drop off at macco

Step 2: Buy Velcro strips, use office stapler to create mounting straps.

Step 3: Remove trunk liner and use heavy duty stapler to mount strips to liner.

Step 4: Get a snow cone and wait for bat to come back from paint

Also, I wanted to add that I am aware that guns are more effective. This bat is merely for show (hence the Grey Ashen Metallic Paintjob) and will only be used if necessary.

so...in the case of a problem, you can say 'excuse me, let me go get something out of my trunk'?

re-think this

Angrybird 12 · 07-30-2013, 05:02 PM

I guess one of these would be slightly illegal.

A stripper pole would be more effective, with said stripper in the passenger seat, and a mod worth bragging about..

She could be your ball washer..

It's ridiculous. "Excuse me, um can we stop the altercation for a moment while I go into my truck and retrieve my bat from it's pre-mounted clips in order to prepare for this somewhat unannounced and random beat down? Thanks!"
