    I tend to go for that "dead-eyed-stare" myself which seems to work great. Think big semi-scary looking woman with a blank expression straight out of "Deliverance." Never had any problems.

    I've never had a problem with the lowlifes at truckstops/rest areas...People say I look mean.
    I can't tell you how many times I've had guys come up to me and apologize in advance...Just in case they do anything to piss me off!

    If someone did try...It wouldn't go well for them.

    I had a problem in the 80's at a Ca. rest stop and when I showed the guy the working end of a 9 mm he started to walk away. I made him stop lay down and wait for pd Cop tells me to shoot him while he was on the ground and was grinning. the dude pee's himself the cop and I laugh like crazy and he got free room and board for a few days for the drugs in his pocket.

    If anyone tries to rob me, I tell them to call 911 for medical aid first, because , they will require immediate medical attention after I get done with them. I then tie their feet to an ICC bumper of a truck pulling out and watch the fun. Dang, I crack myself up !

    I thought that we were not allowed to carry guns in the trucks? Please correct me if I am wrong.

    Nope not wrong. But you are not allowed to speed either and you are not allowed to drive more than 11 hours. My life is worth more than any BS unconstitutional law out there. I would rather be cought with it than without it. That simple.
