    Seats, seats are a good thing. Seatbelts, they are a must have. Big $$$ citations nowadays. Heating and cooling is real good to have. A/C system needs to work this time of year, your defrost system relies on that. An intelegent driver would be good, not been a lot of those the last few years.

    You're correct. The term is used because they are designed for tactical applications such as military, police, emergency ect. Civilians find these items useful even if they don't use them for all of their intended purposes.

    I carry pepper spray and a two edged dagger with me. I would probably carry a firearm, but I need to check our company's policy on it, and check what's allowed in the states I travel. Oh, and I would probably have to actually buy another firearm. Haven't owned one in years.

    Only a real problem if you don't work for a company where you park your car in their yard.

    Be sure to make that a “tactical” fly swatter. :laughing-guffaw:

    A “lunch box”. That is a 12v powered box. Cooks slowly. Heats stuff up. Or keeps it hot. ... Wonderful little device. There’s nothing about it; tactical. :kermit:

    Navy Seal fly swatter. It’s silent. Stealthy. And built to last.
