Crowbar, baseball bat, wrench?
 

So how many of you keep a blunt instrument in your vehicle? :stirthepot:

I know a few friends of mine always have something in the car be it a metal extension bar for the lug nut wrench or something of the like for a "just in case" situation.



Mind you, I do not advocate confronting road rage or anything of the like with a weapon and advise everyone to safeguard their health more than their beloved fairladies...


Let's hear em. ;)





P.S: Texas need not apply, shotguns don't count, nor do concealed/open carry states. :gtfo2: :rofl2:

Ibtl. S&w m&p .40

Don't see a reason to lock this. Whats against forum rules?

I guess I'm disqualified then. Arkansas To Become Fifth State with Constitutional Carry :)

Airweight titanium ASP and a spyderco knife

Beretta nano in my ride. And in my backpack when I leave my ride.

Good call. I've usually got a m&p compact 9mm in mine.

Man you Americans are hardcore, lol.

Lol, I guess NONE of you read the OP.



In CA, it's illegal to have a bat without any other baseball item (glove, ball, helmet) and how do you expect to take a baseball bat out?
I carry a knife 24/7, not for self defense, for practicality, and I'm sorry, you can't bring a knife to a gun fight. And anyone who is going to do you harm is going to come at you with a gun, if they come at you with a knife you're gonna stab them? Lol!!! Or, oh wait. Let me get my bat from my car, or even better (if you're in your car) you're gonna swing a tire iron at the guy through the window? Just drive away

I keep a few things in my car...

Larger pocket knife I keep on my pocket 24/7.

Large Mag-Lite (Great Nite-stick. Really stiff)

& I always have a wood bat in the car.

...don't mess with me I guess.

You live in AZ, carry a gun.

Hmm all these people strapped? :icon17:

That being said I keep a lil somethin myself. Never had to use it though. :D

Yup. Don't believe the liberal media when they say that less and less people are owning guns these days, it's the opposite.

I'm in CA, but there is a way to keep a pistol, legally, in my car. Just depends on where I'm going if a pistol also goes with me since I can't legally conceal it on me once I leave the car. Other than that, it's a Leatherman. Always a handy item to keep in a car for many reasons.

(I am a gun fanatic, just a realist as well)

... At the same time, in CA, you can carry it unloaded... Watch as the criminal watched you load your gun while he shoots you. It's COMPLETELY worthless. Then you gotta lock it when you drive past a school and 10 other things. Might as well leave it at home...
And they made it illegal to carry handguns open (still no mag) as well... So unless you want to open carry a shotgun or AR15, your gun ain't gonna help you in this state

Guys, back on point, OP only asked if you carry anything in case of emergency

:iagree: Especially with the shootings in my own backyard (School shooting), and other gun related scenarios across the USA, I would think they were calling for stricter regulations on gun limitations/control and as a result you would think that would mean less people carrying firearms, but its just the opposite as you mentioned.

But yeah back on topic so we dont deviate the thread into a gun debate since there is a thread for that :tiphat:

I know you're a gun fanatic, as am I, but you would be surprised what you can do or get away with when you know the laws very well and still carry in your car effectively ;). But, like I said, it just depends on where I'm going if I decided to or not since it can be cumbersome.

I used to have a psychotic coworker who carried a sword in his car. He was also trained on using it. I swear one day I'm gonna turn on the news to hear that he beheaded someone on the road.

Ackrite... Who are you? Lol have we met at a meet? Do you have stripes on your Nismo?

That's awesome

You're right. Leatheman MUT and a flashlight. I once had a sledgehammer in the car for a few months that I forgot to take out after coming back from the range, but then realized that it's a bit too much and took it out.

Haven't met, but you were gonna try to go to the range with me one time, but it was already too late or something.

I haven't purchased a pistol yet since I've been older then 21. But ill probably get a 50 cal desert eagle........... ;)

Emergency MAGLITE flashlight is a great weapon and emergency tool. As well as a pocket knife.

I carry a pair of fists. They're pretty reliable.

I stopped that crap (Carrying bats etc) after I grew up..............

1911 .45acp

Simply the finest sidearm you can carry.

To those 3 out of 22 responses that stayed on topic thank you.

To the rest of you, thanks for ignoring the clear part of the first post that says this is about everything BUT guns. I appreciate you sharing your excitement about the desert eagles, magnum sniper rifles, and bazookas that you stash away in the glove compartment of your Z :facepalm:

violence should be the least priorities

Well in Georgia we are allowed to carry our guns ;) and I have a firearms license which allows me to carry it on my persons (or anywhere else in my car) even if I get pulled over.

Sorry that in NY your sling shot must be in a Ziplock bags and stored under the hood.

It is better to follow the law (with legal firearms) than drive around like a teenager with a baseball bat.:rolleyes:

You can always carry around a 18" breaker bar with a torque wrench and a few deep sockets for those "roadside emergencies". ;)

I'm talking about flat tires of course.

Does NY allow tasers? All of the bats, wrenches, crowbars and maces in the world won't do any good while you're sitting in the car. Pepper spray isn't going to work in an enclosed space either.

Touché on the slingshot under the hood in a case used to carry nuclear warheads. :icon17:

However a good metal extension of ones arm never hurt [oh the pun] to quickly calm someone who decides to come at you with fists down :stirthepot:

I don't have a problem fighting someone with a crowbar,metal extension they are only going to get to swing it once.;)

That's why guns come in handy if somebody feels frisky.

I'm not a lawyer, but using a wrench or bat on someone who is trying to punch you sounds like a recipe for legal disaster.

The goal of having something like that on you is to avoid having to use it at all as soon as the other person realizes you actually do have one on your person.

Talk softly and carry a big stick policy. Roosevelt style ;)

That makes some sense. Shame you live in NY where self defense is pretty much illegal.

Guys, for the love of god, ON TOPIC!!! (I know I got off topic too)


Btw, comments like that make me laugh, having lived in Houston, it's a shame you live in TX (granted, great people and even more shìtty ones, hated the city)

Well I have a CCP in WA so I carry a Sig Sauer P220..blunt objects are pointless IMO.. If you're threatning me with deadly force, and I feel my life is being threatened then then deadly force in the form of a 45 will be swiftly applied to you. The key words being life threatening.. Deadly force no matter the instrument is the same, whether you use a bat a knife or a firearm.. Some are just more efficient and effectiv than others.

I was just making a comment about how it's pretty much impossible to legally carry a weapon for self defense in NY.

BTW, sorry you didn't like it here in TX. I don't know how we'll survive without you :p
