What do you for personal safety?

I picked up a can of wasp spray at WalMart yesterday. Thanks so much for this tip. Although I have had security personnel ask if we have lighters, guns, cell phones, pets, I have never, ever had one ask if we have wasp spray!! Ha!

I have never thought about it. I usually park near lighs, and grass I carry a 65 pound pit bull with me wherever I go. He is the biggest baby in the world, but no one else needs to know that.

Obviously, I can't bring him inside with me. So usually, I go in during daylight, and once it gets dark, my bladder is forced to go to bed. No questions asked. lol.

I don't know how many people might be familiar with marine supply but you can get a disposable air horn at a marine supply store or WalMart that is very loud and the canister is only about 4 inch long and a little smaller than a broom handle and believe me it will atracked attention,its actually louder than a truck horn. I'm like poorboy and Wellarmed, the wife and I travel with SIG SAUER.

I carry a 21 inch long breaker bar used for breakin lugnuts loose of course. I have my leatherman tool which in most cases isnt considered a weapon. Sometimes I need a cane so.... And then theres the wasp spray. Lets not forget the pry bar needed incase theres nails stickin in floor from pallets. I know fedex requires a hammer and nails. leather gloves and a roll of quarters needed for laundry.
I've yet to have any problems at truck stops or rest areas. And have often slept with side door slid slightly open.
Everything I've listed is legal, and as you see very usefull.

A bar of the old Ivory soup in a sock is good for keeping clean too...no need for a wash cloth of that funny thing my wife and daughter use.....

You could just squirt them in the eyes with your glue bottle and then stab them with your scissors..

I heard a driver on XM the other day say that he has never had any trouble. He attributes his undisturbed sleep to the empty holster prominently placed on his dash. That one is totally legal, too.

The empty holster idea is really good but I'm sure it would cause the police to draw and maybe cuff you until they were sure there actually was not a weapon, If they were to see it.

I have a tn carry permit, so I'm OK, me and Mr. Rugger, with 2 clips. If u all are carring anything, remember, dont bring a knife to a gun fight, and distance is always king.PS,,,our range instructor says, when at all possible, run away from all trouble unless u are traped, then if ur back is against the wall,,shoot.......................amen

At home I sometimes carry, wasp spray can be very effective in a truck.

You're ok in Tn, but you can't carry concealed in other states that don't have reciprocity, correct?
PS Your range instructor is a wise man.

That what is taught in every CCW class in Michigan as well. I still have a problem with the entire CCW thing since we already have the right to carry under our Constitution. It is always better to be prepared than to be a victim.
