What do you all carry in your truck for protection? It seems absurd that law makers will not allow drivers to carry some type of firearm. With homeland security, hazmat, etc. it just does not click to me.

How easy would you give up your truck?? Two big guys knock on your door, say get out we are taking your truck, what next?? Just give it to them??

I wonder even though no body talks about it how many drivers are packing?

I ain't packin', and I ain't mean and if two big doods come-a-knockin, well, then they can have it.

Company wants me to fight for it, they'll issue me a gun; that's what the Navy did! :lol:

I carry Common Sense and aware of my surroundings

I keep my doors locked all the time.......even when I'm in the cab. Now if the two big guys rip the door off the hinges... they can have the dam thing. One night I felt the cab rock just every so slightly while I was laying down in the sleeper.........next thing I know somebody came on over the CB telling me they had just watched some guy in dark clothing climb up between my cab and trailer and he hadn't come down yet........I told him I was going to pull out like I was heading out and to watch........I pulled the shades down, slipped it in gear and eased out of my spot....sure enough the would be mugger jumped and headed toward the end of the line on a dead run. The local county sheriff picked him up after one of their dogs chomped down on his leg.... he had crawled into a storm drain and got stuck..........seems they had a number of incidents in this TS by this guy hiding between the cab and the trailer and when the driver got out he thunked em with a sawed off baseball bat and stole their wallets and whatever else he could find in the cab.............

AFter that I started taking my fighting rooster with me.........best dang guard beast you'll ever find.............hell sometimes he won't even let me in the truck............I tell him all the time, if he don't stop that he's dinner..........and one of these times I'm gonna do it.

Well... Let's see.... That "9-1-1" fuel additive, a couple of bottles of "MELT-DOWN"... (It gets downright cold up here...) And a spray bottle with watered down hair shampoo. Also a good aim for eyes... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

If you keep your doors locked I think you have some time before someone who wanted to get in could. I just recently locked the keys in my car and had to smash the little rear window in my Mustang. I had a hammer and it took me about 10 times swinging like Hell to break the tempered glass. Also, wouldn't you pick the smallest window to break? I did. It cost me $640 to get it replaced!!!! The side window would have cost $170. DUH

And if you look you might have had lockout provision on your insurance and gotten a lock smith to open your door for free. :P :P :P

I am with yoopr. Common sense, aware or your surroundings are your best weapons. There is nothing they can put on my truck that is worth my life. If the want it they can have it. If it was that important I would have had enough official protection to make your average max security prison look like Grand Opening at Wal Mart.

It was Sunday night. The cops don't do it anymore and I called every tow company and nobody answered plus I was hungry!!!
