Why a wooden bat, would a metal one not work so well? Or are the laws different?

Text surrounded by asterisks (*) is italicized.

Text surrounded by plus signs (+) is bolded.

Symbols such as *, +, |, and ~ can be used literally by placed a \ in front of the text.

A user's name surrounded by at signs (@) links to their profile, and the user is notified that you mentioned them.

A word surrounded by hash signs (#) becomes a tag and links to posts with that tag.

Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim in a different font.

URLs become links. However, new users cannot post links in comments.

Hubski URLS become embedded cards, displaying information about the post or comment.

Text can link to URLs by using the following format: [linked text](http://theurl.com)

Metal bats dent. One good hard hit and it's almost useless. A good quality wooden bat can withstand more punishment, which means it can deal out more as well.

Just like guns though, if you use a bat for self defense, there are legal repercussions. So once again, know the laws.
