Carrying Weapons

juuge

After experiencing a recent episode of 'road rage' I have since began carrying a 12" ratchet (for changing wheels) in my car. Don't know whether I'd use it or not but it makes me feel less vulnerable.

Dun laoire

Are you nuts?

Dave!

I have a radio in my car.

Dancor

I carry an axe under my car seat.

Archeron

I have a pillow on my back seat, for smothering purposes.

Flying

I have a Village People CD, that scares the sh1te outta people

hottstuff

Whatever makes you feel comfortable.;)

humanji

I have a 10 ton weight, some rope, a pulley and some chalk to draw an X on the ground. It's not too useful in the heat of the moment, but it makes me feel safe.

Cuddlesworth

A paperclip, AA battery, toothpaste, a rubber band and all the seasons of McGuiver on DVD.

prendy

my radio is detachable so it can be used in times of necessity...i also had Q fit 4 missiles under the headlights(just in case i miss with the radio):)

parliament

I have a trunk monkey

seamus

I have jump leads. Anyone comes near me gets the worst nipple gripple EVAR!

Seriously though, there's never any reason to carry a weapon. Anyone gets out of their car to approach me, I'm gone. I'll run them over if I have to.

The only reason for having a weapon at hand is to use it otherwise the danger is always it will be used on you never bring a weapon to fight not to use it.

So in short put that back into your boot and dont be another crime statistic villian or victim

I carried a legally owned and licensed firearm with me for years (yes, they are legal where I'm from).

Not worth it in my opinion. It's like having 10 beers on you, bravado increases 10 fold and you're just looking for trouble. I'm much happier here in Ireland where a) you're not allowed to and b) you don't really need to.

Besides, as someone said, just ride em over if you have to

And what do you carry for 'thread rage'?.. [You've just started one].

Pigman II

I have a nunchucks under my seat that turns into a handy clothes-hanger (in case I get attacked by Gok Wan driving a girly car).

blah

I keep a ninja midget in the wheel well of my boot at all times in case of emergency.

Pigman II

A sexy emergency?

ScumLord

I pretend I'm poor.

You from Texas!?:D Firearms are legal here too, you just arent allowed walk around with it concealed for protection.

They'd hit you I reckon.

Honestly

A large wrench (Dont know measurement but fairly big)

I dont know if a 12" ratchet would do the job. Maybe try something that looks more threatening like a nail gun

Red Hand

I've got a sharp set of teeth. Go for their nose.

Dead right Juuge...I hate having a bout of road rage and not having anything to hand (just cursing at them is no fun)....now when you have your next bout of road rage you can jump out and start bashing in his back window with ur wrench..

Only two of the fifty states have no provision for concealed firearms, Wisconsin and Illinois. Legal in the other 48, usually with a license. (No license required for two, Vermont and Alaska)

NTM

Missing the point completely.......I was the victim of road rage, I didn't instigate it. The guy took a swing at me and missed by about two inches. I put the boot down and left him there. The next time things will be different.

Fists, knee, elbow, head ... it's all good.

It wasn't me!

Why? Firearms are licensed here for entirely different purposes. It's impossible to license a firearm for self-defence in this country, and I like it better that way.
