Nonballistic weaponry

Understood, BullGoose, and good point
FYI, the above mentioned situation was due to a co-worker's unfaithful wife, and my lack of morals. Standing there with a running garden hose, welcoming smile, and hearty handshake would probably have landed me with an extended hospital stay, at the very least.
We did manage to resolve our differences, shortly after this incident;
she left us both for another woman.
Heck of a blow to your manhood, I tell ya.

 

Got all kinds of things in the truck if someone would break in at night. Throw my laundry basket over there head, smack em in the eye with the remote for my tv, strangle em with the cord of my fan, heck anything can be used as a weapon in the heat of the moment. If someones got a gun at me ill wait till the one second hes distracted or looks loose and grab his hand and point the gun away and fire off all the rounds into the truck or whereever then pistol whip em. As for outside of the truck I walk tall and am always aware of my sorroundings, if I see someone coming closer to me or running at me or something im usually by the building or by another truck and could probably ditch em, play a little hide an seek with him. But ya never know theres always the what ifs.

 

Funny I should happen upon this thread as I was just thinking today, as I was sitting in the Crackville district of New Orleans, "Wouldn't it be cool to outfit my truck with a Blaster?"... the vehicle mounted flame-thrower that guy from South Africa invented to prevent car-jacking.

Nothing would give me more satisfaction than to turn a gun-toting thug into a crispy critter. And with 300 gallons of diesel onboard, you could cook them to a crispy golden brown in no time.

Boy that would sure melt your nylon underwear to.....well you get the picture.

 

Yes, that is a real product, although it is no longer in production. From what I gather, the "shortcomings" were that the carjackers got wise and just started shooting the drivers before they even got close to the car. Can't fry 'em unless they're standing there.

While looking for video of this product in action, I saw an interesting documentary about crime in Johannesburg, South Africa... holy shih tzu! You think South Central is bad? Watch all five—very enlightening.

Also saw a recent documentary mostly about crime against women in South Africa. After gang raping one young woman, they hacked off both legs above the knee, then deliberately threw her in a ditch filled with raw sewage instead of killing her. She contracted some incurable disease from the sewage, resigning her to a slow, painful, legless death. They intentionally did this instead of killing her, and the narrator said that is what they normally do.
That is evil in my book.

 

In the documentary, there are two ####### being interviewed who talk about putting babies in a microwave oven and, "...making the oven on".

Yep... nice place to live.
