I know firearms are taboo but what about...

a K-bar or a Louisville Slugger?

I ain't as good as I once was...

Thanks,
Bugsy

No K-bar, particularly when attached to a rifle. Got a Louisville Slugger? Best to also have a ball and glove otherwise it might be considered a weapon. A sawed-off Louisville Slugger would be a good tire thumper, but not in a van.

I don`t see any way to attach my k-bar to a rifle.

Hornet spray and a small crowbar behind your seat is legal.

Will cause instant blindness to the SCUM.

Start thinking about tools instead, such as a crowbar and a large MAGlight. Keep in mind these are only as good as your proximity to them.

Your protection really starts with keeping alert and scanning about. Be very aware of your surroundings and those in your vicinity and approaching.

Consider taking courses in self-defence.

Oh yea, and do your best not to use that hornet spray or brake cleaner on a windy day.

When I was doing some sewing in my van, I put the safety pins in the headliner, directly overhead, as I pulled them out of the fabric. It only occurred to me later, that the 2 inch pins could serve as a weapon, in a pinch. More than one scumbag would definitely call for the hornet spray or brake cleaner, though. I like the hornet spray especially, cause it has a huge nozzle, which guarantees I won't point it in the wrong direction! :+

15 lbs bellbar in the head will cause two large bumps the next day.

Swing first ask questions later.

Wow, thread resurrection from the dead!

I like the hornet spray idea also, big nozzle equals no miss, but I will probably back it up with a baseball bat. I'm more of a "hands on" kind of guy when it comes to scrapping with trouble-makers, so I think I'd find the hollow thunk of the wood-skull connection most satisfying!
