    The best weapon to carry is common sense. You are not carrying anything in the trailer that is worth dying for. I also do not think there is anything worth killing for in that trailer. With the way tensions are right now between law enforcement and drivers, I would not wish to give anyone the idea that guns are needed right now. Keep situational awareness and leave the guns at home.

    From what I've read, most if not all "shall issue" states don't allow concealed carry in government buildings or bars.

    I see a Ruger GP-100. That doesn't need much. :)

    If OP is a local driver in a "Constitutional carry", or even a "shall issue" state, I for one am not about to tell him he shouldn't exercise his right to be prepared.

    Unfortunately, his attack was in California.

    I'll save my opinion on California for our Politics section.

    I carry a machete and a long handle Axe. I'm not going to end up a statistic. When it comes to me or the thug, he's leaving in a bag, or bags.

    I don't know about the rest of you. But my bread doesn't get sliced quite right unless it's done with a machete. And I believe that the best tool for checking tire pressure is a military issue baton. :angel4:
