I've decided I'm going to mount a trumpet in my trunk...I don't play the trumpet, and have no interest in the trumpet, but it will do me about as much good as a bat mounted in the trunk will and I want to be different....anyone know where I can get a trumpet painted Imperial Blue Metalic?
It's your car, and in the end your opinion is the only one that matters, but I think most people find this post puzzling because the bat serves no purpose in the trunk. As I said previously unless you're a MLB player the bat in your trunk serves as much purpose as the trumpet I'll soon have in mine.

| | As I previously pointed out, the opening is too small to mount most shotguns, and if I'm going to keep a gun in the car I'd just get a handgun and keep it up front. The bat just made sense. It looks cool, and yes I can beat someones face into the ground with it if I need to. Worst case scenario, I'll look hella badass if I ever go play baseball with my friends. This was always meant to be a showpiece, just like my car. Not a weapon, not a gun rights post, just me simply asking a question and doing something I thought was cool. Let be real, we've seen people strap way dumber crap to their Camaro's over the last year I've been a member on here.

You could attempt to beat my ass (or anyone else's ass for that matter) into the ground with it, but as people have said on here you could be bringing a Bat to a gun fight, and I guarantee you that a Smith and Wesson beats a Louisville slugger any day of the week. I can see it now....an altercation ensues between you and someone else, it escalates, and you proceed to your trunk to retrieve your bat.....the other party, seeing you retrieving what could be a weapon draws their handgun from a concealed holster...you're then seconds away from imminent death because any threatening move you make at this point is grounds for use of deadly force for the other guy to defend himself. If you want to have a bat if your trunk mounted like it's a rare elephant gun hanging on a wall in your study for others to admire that's your business ( I don't get it, but that doesn't matter), but the first time you take it out as a weapon could be your last in this day and age.

I'm staying out of this one because I'm not from here and gun rights are clearly a hot topic. I'll be posting photos of the finished product for further criticism

Mounting a bat in the trunk? Fruit or Leaf Nosed bat?

Heck, everybody in my neck of the woods hauls around a loaded weapon. Just our way of doing things. You never know when one of those pesky bigfoot or aliens might be trolling around. My PK 380 stays loaded & close at all times. I like it for the size, accuracy and the fact that it will accommodate 3 different types of ammo.

As far as personalization, go for it (OP)! I'm gonna have a custom grill made to match the tribal that runs from my waist to ankle.....

Exactly... Lol. Has nothing to do with making people think you're tough.

I might carry but I would never brag about it. The less people that know I may own guns and may carry, the better. Why broadcast it? If the time comes when I need to protect myself or my loved ones with deadly force, those that need to know will find out.
