I have an old Estwing claw hammer next to my seat, and if the crap really hits the fan, or Jehovah Witnesses show up, I've got an XDM .45 under my pillow.
Whats the best weapon to carry?

body is an additional offense. Never heard of any stipulation on weapon
type when clearly used in self defense. May be prohibited by company policy. But if you are alive, you can argue about it. If not, its a moot point.kemosabi49 and randomname Thank this. -

Tell them your broke, I keep my money hidden in the truck since it ends up being the trucks money, if they want, show them your empty wallet, then when they go to leave, ask to borrow a dollar.

Like others have said, situational awareness and listening to your gut are probably going to be your best bets most of the time.
There's that rare situation where someone runs up and sticks a gun in your face, then a tire thumper and hornet spray aren't going to do you much good.
But that chances of that happening are probably about the same as having a parachute not open up. Which is a very small chance. Most people still jump out of plans, and your risks of dying in a crash are still greater.
I understand the question though, especially with everything that's going on. If you want to look into a concealed carry license, Texas has a good one, and it's recognized legal in most states.
