The thread title said "to help protect you"

How does Gatorade keep you safe?
 
I have a 2 foot prybar and a really big piece of aluminum electrical cabling, not sure of the gauge, but it's huge, I left eh sheathing on it, it's light and I definitely wouldn't want to get hit with it
 
tbh there is nothing in my car, not even a pocket knife.

pretty much the only thing in it is me + whatever cargo i may have + standard car equp (tier iron and such)

I have a ton of change I could use for self defense or possibly bribe low income attackers.

I also have a stack of Speedy Reward receipts that I could use to bribe low income attackers.

Or I would putt my gun and shoot them in the face. Depends on the situation.

the bottom one was what I was talking about...but holy hell, the top one is awesome.

How big of a room is that in? I'm guessing a converted attic, so it must sound AWESOME
 
I don't keep anything in my car to protect myself, and I've never been in a situation where I needed something. Just drive away if there's a problem.
 
I'm driving in a car. It is the most dangerous weapon legally owned by citizens according to the NRA. I think I will be ok.

If I'm driving through Detroit, maybe I'll get ol'Joe Biden to ride shotgun with a shotgun.
 
I have a multitool with a knife in my car. More for repairs than defense. I figure I'll just run over whoever tries to carjack me. Not that it happens very often in Toronto. Maybe only a couple times a year for the whole city. Plus I have a car battery and jumper cables for entertainment afterwards.
 
I've never really thought about having to use it as a weapon, but I usually keep a small knife in my console.
