When a friend came to visit him from across the pond, Pring showed off his new-found freedom.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What do you do when your buddy from England is in town and you&#8217;re in Phoenix, Arizona?

He said he\u2019s found a more traditional means of self-defense.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not a scared man and I don&#8217;t feel like I need a gun to protect myself,&#8221; Pring explained. &#8220;I just bought a baseball bat. If a burglar wants to come into my house, I&#8217;ll take care of him the old-fashioned way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Phoenix police Sgt.
