*You will never be involved in a “zombie apocalypse.”
*People who have been in civilian fights with other human beings often claim that improvised tools, like, say, a crowbar, are a wise choice in a fight. They’re of less use in a fight than well-designed weapons, but they’re much more useful in the police station or the law-court, afterwards.
