I used to carry a small arsenal of weaponry in my truck, 2 different knives, louisville slugger, police level foaming pepper spray, and a large, not very friendly Rottweiler.
We are not allowed dogs. We do have some kitchen knives and a very large Mag-Lite. I think I will get some bug spray as well. The pepper spray is not legal in Canada or California or many other places. Layoutshooter
