    I have two trucks. So, the equipment for both is different.



    In my Chevrolet, I have a lead pipe. It's heavy. It worked well when the starter needed a whack. Now, it just takes up space.

    In my Ford, I have a really large tire iron. It's not as nice as the pipe, but I wouldn't want to be whacked with it.

    Both trucks have a fire extinguisher. It's good for fires... and spraying into an attacker. If all else fails, I can throw it!

    --------

    My best protection: There is another person in the truck. A former soldier who wouldn't hurt a fly, but they don't know that! Just having a second person would probably do the trick. But, I've never needed to find out.

    And, of course, I drive with the doors locked. That would probably be enough time to drive away.
