Fck these weaps..

The only weap/gun i carry is the one hanging down between my legs

[dougie_504]

Well I had an altercation the other day as I was parking outside my hospital.

Almost came to blows with two drunk guys who were upset with me driving slowly so I could stop and do a reverse parallel park.

My steering wheel lock never gets used but I primarily keep it in my car for reasons like this though I've fortunately never had to use it. If I'm going to be outnumbered I want a weapon, full stop. Last year an orderly from my work was assaulted and robbed. Very nice Scottish bloke named Tom. Only last month a woman was raped after being discharged from the emergency department. And in the park across the road there has been one suicide (hanging from tree) and one person's decapitates head found.

So screw the whole 'no weapunz bra' thing I'd rather have a backup plan tbh. It's just a wheel lock and I first had it for that reason but now that I don't bother with it it has become a safety measure to me.

Some people live in candy cane world. Me and Dougie_504 reside on planet earth. Not about being the tough guy, it's just being prepared.
No I dont walk the street with a concealed handgun. But I do have a breaker bar that I keep with me to undo my wheel nuts if I ever get a flat. Or break your face if you try to jump/rob/rape me.

I see crazy shit going down all the time in Sydney South Wild West.

Regarding the makeshift weapons - if you're getting road rage attacked by some 6"3 100kg road raging knob would you rather get attacked and wait for the law to deal with it, or have some sort of method to fend him off/make him hesitate long enough for you to get away?

I don't agree with having guns given they have the potential to easily kill someone but a big stick isn't really going to kill someone without some serious effort - i.e. if you're prone to blind rage you probably shouldn't carry one... not that you'll be aware of it until it's too late

I love all these tough-guy stories people have about the various weapons they keep in their cars... Watched a few too many films, I reckon.

ahh silvia drivers must not carry weapons, might steal myself an s15 tonight.

well, better to have something to fend off a lunatic than be sorry.

i was driving down a small back lane the other day, had a cyclist come out from the side from a T junction. he proceeded to abuse me for failing to give way even though he was riding like a lunatic, and ignoring stop signs. he even approached my car and tried to open the door (passenger side), luckily for me, i had locked the door (gf in car), if not he wouldve probably tried to attack me. instead i pull out the tyre lever, and place it on the centre console for him to see, only then did he back off.

this. well said.

I only got jumper cables in my car. Best i can do is nipple clamp someone to the battery.

HAHAHA I'll look them dead in the eye and pull out some Gran Torino quotes.

1.
Thug: Go to sleep old man
Walt Kowalski: How about I blow a hole in your face; then go inside and sleep like a baby.

Or maybe this,

2.
Walt Kowalski to Hmong Thug: I used to stack g00k fu(ks likes you five feet high in Korea... use ya for sand bags.

^^ this guy knows

i dont have them to maim someone, i have them if someone trys something stupid its like "hey wait a sec he has a weapon with a half a metre reach on me, he might get to me before i get to him"

Laborer at our work (old dude like 5ft tall lol) was grabbed round the throat and nearly hauled out of his car at the lights waiting for them to change. He couldnt do anything, and luckily pressed the window up button and nearly caught the dudes arm in the window. Now If he'd had the nice little standard honda wheel bar right next to him, its withing arms reach and you can jam the lowlife scum in the face with it.

if i was the guy i would just drive thru the intersection. and i guarantee that i will grab his arm and take the bastard along for a ride on the outside with me.

[eg5civic]

hes like 55+ years old, and 5ft of skin and bones and the dude grabbing him was some huge maori.
The hope he had was catching his arm with the window and he said he had every intention to drag him as far as he could if he got the bastards arm caught but the dude managed to get it out before it got caught
