    Firearms are not always a no-go, but if you cannot carry for some reason, may I suggest the biggest baddest can of Wasp and Hornet spray you can find and a Bic lighter. You can even fab a little holster on the can to hold the lighter. :))

    Best regards

    I've never found a reason to be that scared, to really need weapons.

    Maybe I just have a charmed life.

    I keep an ice pick mounted on side of drivers seat. Those things will go right thru bone or skull with very little effort.

    15 years of driving and no one has ever jumped on my step at a red light. I don't know where you guys are driving at. But I've peddled Camden NJ and all neighborhoods in Philly and a lot of NY. I think these are stories that are regurgitated cause you heard them at the truckstop counter. I do have a big flashlight if I needed it. Oh and don't tell me the hunts point story either. About the pick up truck we all know it.
     
    Honch and zmpart Thank this.

    thats a good idea, like a nuclear hand grenade.

    I also like the idea of the air tank, like what the guy in 'no country for old men' used .. Hey man, hold still while I hold this hose up to your forehead ..

    That's the point nothing happened at hunts point. Except maybe hookers.
