Get several of the small fire extinguishers and mount them in the cab and bunk

They just as good as pepper spray .

and get a super bright tactical flashlight

handguns are too much paper work if you ever use it you will spend $50-100k on a lawyer .

 

Black powder and flintlock? With only a single shot, you had better be accurate the first time.

 

This subject has a lot of mis-information out there, but MACK is correct.

Sites like this: Can Truckers Carry Guns? – AFT Dispatch say the FMCSA prohibits it unless you have a carry permit.

But: Weapons in CMVs says its ok as long as you live by state laws. Since JJ Keller wrote the book, I would trust their say on it.

 

Has anyone thought of using brake cleaner. I've gotten it in my eyes just a little bit and it's debilitating. My son has a laser that will start a fire and blind an assailant also.
