<human>: I have a motorcycle and I ride to university everyday. Muggings happen often there, and I'd like to carry a weapon for defense while ridding and walking to and from my bike at school, just in case. Because its school, concealed weapon firearm is out. I have heard that in a pinch, with the nerves and adrenaline, pepper spray requires too much fiddling to be of much help. Has anyone ever used a baton in a fight? What happened? Did it ever help? Did you get shot as a result? (I hope not :) Also, any advice about how to get good at using it? Thanks!

<bot>: Can't get gun, no pepper spray, I want a baton for defense, looking for stories from people who've used them in fights
