**fast4d** · 12-15-2002, 06:37 PM

no obvious things like guns, brass knuckles, etc.

maglites are favored by the cops. good dual purpose tool.

**abakos** · 12-15-2002, 06:43 PM

Tire Iron? Snow brush? Wife?

**mens rea** · 12-15-2002, 06:45 PM

A large wrench...(just incase your car needs some work on the fly)

And uh...

Anthrax

**dcardenas** · 12-15-2002, 06:45 PM

Ahh yes I have that in there too...but it's only a 3-cell.

baseball bats ARE considered weapons unless they are coupled with a glove (atleast in ct i dont know about anywhere else)

Any 4 iron should do the trick. The perfect length and just the right loft to really do some damage. Oh, make sure it has a steel shaft.

4 D-Cell MagLite behind the front seat

I agree, I've got a 3 D cell MagLite... a 4 would be better but 3 is effective too. What about a nice heavy 12 inch socket extension? What about a hammer?

**Ali** · 12-15-2002, 07:15 PM

bat or some kind of big tool.

**Drea///M3** · 12-15-2002, 07:19 PM

I have a nice 4-D cell MagLite as well....but you know what I found most effective, that went way with my Eclipse? The Club. That inner piece that extended out to fit your steering wheel, can be slid all the way out. I guess it is made of steel and is notched/grooved as well to provide that extra "zing" when contacting with skin....

Mark 4 triple action spray- combines CN tear gas, Oleoresin Capsicum pepper formula and marking dye. Then a 26'' ASP expandable baton. also a Littman Master Cardiology stethoscope, I could proably strangle someone with that.

You wouldn't feel compelled to help the poor bastard you blinded, beat, and strangled would you? It seems like there might be a conflict of opinions here...

I concur with Josh.

I have pepper spray bottles in all of my vehicles. I only buy FOX pepper spray products because they really really burn. (No really!lol) Other pepper sprays are not to be trusted. Another good thing to have around if you dealing with pepper spray is Sudecon wipes. (In case you get some on yourself.)

Later,
Tom

Yes, if you are a fan of the golf club beat down.

**Sacramento M3** · 12-15-2002, 08:43 PM

One of the ultra large Craftsman regular screwdrivers...good for stabbing, whacking, countering, working on cars, and hey!!! if it ever breaks on the person you're bludgeoning with it, take it back to Sears and they'll exchange it, no questions asked

**Alvin** · 12-15-2002, 08:55 PM

Get an AXE handle. May be illegal, but remember to keep the stickers on there and say your uncle gave it to you to give to someone or another. I got one at home depot for no more than 25, its carbon so its extremely light and has a metal rod in the middle. Good for just about anything.

The most effective and readily accessed weapon may be the one with four wheels and a Roundel on the front. Getting the hell outta there is often the best solution. A ton or so of steel can also be a very effective weapon. I will never understand why someone will let a car jacker stand in front of them and then walk around to the door and take their car. Now, is the car worth my life, certainly not. But who knows whether this guy wants to leave any witnesses breathing or not.

Tactics are your best weapon. Don't be afraid to ram yourself out of a deadly situation. Do easy things like leaving enough room from the car in front of you at an intersection so that you will have options if a bad guy targets you. Be aware of your surroundings. Pay attention to what is going on. If approached while you are walking to your car, keep the car between you and the bad guy.

Weapons are great, but they will rarely be accessible when you need them. Being prepared and not allowing yourself to be surprised is much more valuable.
