    I have a Glock. I do Arizona Intrastate only and the company doesn't have any policy against it, however at some of the places I go to it wouldn't even help anyway !! LOL

    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.

    Can you guarantee they won't stick that knife in my neck *after* I hand over my pocket change?.

    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.
