Had a spate of burglaries in our area lately.
Two nights ago our next door neighbour was burgled. She's elderly and traumatized. They took everything.
We're all a bit worried as you can imagine and taking extra precautions.
So last night I asked DH where our baseball bat was (he used to play and kept it in the wardrobe) and he reminded me that we'd put it in the attic a while back.
This is how our conversation went:
Me: "Oh so let's get it down and keep it under the bed."
DH: "Why?"
Me: "In case we're burgled and need to defend ourselves against thugs!"
DH: "You can't do that."
Me: "Why?"
DH: "It's illegal to keep something like that for the purpose of self -defence."
Me: "Wait, what?"
So who's right, any advice?

AIBU?
to think it's not illegal to keep a baseball bat under our bed for the purpose of self-defence?
