Default weapons?

I'm use to having a baseball bat in my car for those situations which sometimes arise and your outnumbered but what can fit in my s2k?? Any of you guys have some advice for small personal weapons excluyding small arms that fit nicely? I know one guy who carries this lil stick looking thingwhich can be made bigger I dunno I've seen it in action and its crazy. Its kind of popular among asians but shoot forgot what it is....

If you get into a situation where you are outnumbered a weapon like a bat is not going to help you at all. You might knock one guy down but unless they're little punks they'll have the bat within about 2seconds and you'll be the one getting tenderised

You're much better off not escalating things like that so perhaps a set of knuckle dusters would be a better option, small and concealable and they can sort the men from the boys without dropping your guard like when you're swinging a big bat.

I think that the thing you're talking about is a police batton/night stick. They're pretty neat and a lot easier to strike or prod people but you're still escalating the situation so I'd steer clear of them.

a little alien in your trunk...whenever you're out-numbered, pop the trunk and the little alien will come out to defend you.

A guy attacked me with one of thoses baton things when I was sitting at a red light. They are small and when your flick your wrist they extend to about 4 feet, he broke my driver side window. good thing I had it rolled up or he would have broke my face. He was sent to jail and I got a nice check from him.

I suggest you keep that kind of shit out of your car. If sombody had a gun (and most people do in my state) ... and you pulled that thing out infront of them, Guess who would get shot?

I'd say nunchaku, but you'd...

1) Need to know how to wield them
2) Check with your state regarding legality. In CA, the offense is equal to that of carrying a handgun

This weapon is EXCELLENT for multiple assailant [physical] defense

That's what I mean by "escalating" the situation. If you cant defend yourself with your fists its probably best that you keep a set of joggers handy rather than a bat

I always carry two grenades with me, the left one and the right one. Both are equally explosive and lightnight quick. If for some ungodly reason that they should fail, then I also have something else in the car, but I can't tell ya.
