    In my case although I was shall we say in the birthday suit I always had my "bag" close by. You might get inside the shower in the vertical position, however you would have left it horizontal. I'm trying to be goofy and light hearted about a VERY serious thing. Most people that have and deploy self defense measures don't really talk about it. They just smile. Like this. :smile:

    I can't remember if i ever told this story in TTR or not. Won't bore with the gritty details. My father was lost early one morning back in the 70s in Elizabeth NJ. Came up to a stop sign and had a young girl to get up on his upper step (remember he was in a cab over). out of the corner of his eyes he saw her partner run behind his trailer. My father pulled his (I think) .38 and stuck it up her nose. She screamed at the guy and my fathers last memory was watching both their butts flopping as they ran like heck.

    The security feature I wish trucks could have is retractable or fold down steps.

    Basically, the answer to people starting trouble or idiots pestering drivers that climbs up to the window. I want to be able to just flip a switch that drops their ### to the pavement.

    That might sell better as a aerodynamic feature.
