    When I ran OTR, I never carried anything for self defense. I was in really great shape when I started that job, and figured nobody would mess with me. Naive, maybe. Young and dumb, definitely. But I never had a problem.

    As a chick, I just look everyone in the eye. I'm tatted up and not to #### with. No problems in my OTR world.

    In my experience it sure did help having a .38 in my back pocket knowing the outcome of the situation was my decision.
