State laws vary, and I carry other goodies AND a gun with reloads.

That sounds like a good way to get your vehicle broken into.

In many states, if you carry a gun in your car and you can't prove that you are on the way to or from a range or "showing your collection", you are committing a serious crime that could terminate your career or gun rights permanently.  Worth risking every day, if you get tossed by a po po on a traffic stop?

Some of us have to drive on site past security perimeters and are subject to search. People have gotten a years probation for forgetting ammo in their trucks. A gun is a fireable offense. It's ghey. My wife cannot carry and has to pick up the kids from school defenseless. That's basically the point of this thread.

Whenever these threads come up I post the same pics:




A 30" Halligan married to a splitting maul.

It's not very tacticool, but one hit to the grape and it's coloring books for Christmas a head becomes an EZ pour spout with a broken shutoff.

It's also brilliant at turning padlocks into polite suggestions, and making entry into wrecked cars when you need fast access to a patient.

When I took my girl to Quebec City a few years ago the border control folks were more spun up about the Halligan/maul than the Benelli M3 right next to it.

Go figure.

Anytime I'm not at work I have a pistol on body and usually some rifle locked in the truck. Unfortunately location of work doesn't allow me to carry unless I'm going directly to the range and leaving.

So the axe stays lol, and usually a esee 6 in the door

The stuff you use when camping but don’t take out of the truck because you don’t want to forget it next time you go. Axe, hatchet, saw, shovel. Then there’s the stuff you need for being prepared while driving. Big adjustable and channellock, breaker bar and sockets, come-a-long, wite rope and shackles.

I’d think the average scoutmaster, tradesman, farmer or veteran would have enough improvised weapons in their vehicle to outfit a dozen folks.

Mainly the hatchet, tho.
