But if they really were that stupid, I am not into drawing guns just to "scare" people. I'd certainly issue verbal commands to get away from me and I'd probably have some sort of impact weapon (SureFire Defender or closed, folding knife) at the ready. OC would be a good option too. But I'm more likely to take the bat away from some that small. I'm sorry ladies but, if a woman is "man enough" and dumb enough try to rob me in a parking lot with a baseball bat, she's "man enough" to get her bones broken after I take the bat away.
YMMV

Don't let your over confidence get you in trouble. You have no idea what these women are capable of. This is a clear threat of deadly force.

Yup. The cemeteries are full of people who underestimated their opponent(s). A simultaneous attack from two persons wielding bats can quickly become more dynamic and troublesome than one might think. Either comply...or prepare to use everything you have to your greatest advantage.

I would also suggest you be careful about taking the bat away and then using it on them. Your use of the bat would also constitute the use of deadly force, and once you have taken their weapon you may no longer be justified.

Yup again. Depending upon the circumstance this could easily cross over to YOU being the aggressor. I can just imagine how a slick lawyer might draw a mental picture for the jury...of the hulking male beating the petite female (now unarmed) with a bat. Not to mention...they are sure to dig up this thread on the internet...which may not prove "beneficial".

I for one would defend myself with all available means. I have no problem drawing my gun and letting them know that they will be shot if they make one more move.

Each person needs to decide for themselves what to do in this situation....but personally I will not put myself behind the 8 ball supposing that I will successfully disarm these two females. They may not have the same skill sets I do, but then again...they might. All they have to do is get "lucky" and land one good blow to gain the upper hand.

Additionally, fighting one person is one thing, fighting two people changes things considerably.
