To capture a bat you go to a vicinity they are known to frequent. Beforehand prepare several squares of panty hose about 3 inches square. Tie a small rock in the middle. Put your gloves on and toss the pantyhose square with the rock tied in it into the air as the bat is approaching. The bat goes to snag the rock thinking it is an airborne munchie and becomes entangled in the pantyhose. Free the bat and scan as humanely as possible before releasing.

Free men do not ask permission to bear arms!!
