in the car
ok got a question for yall,me,not being old enough for concealed carry,wondering if i could have a weapon close at hand(firearm)unloaded, ammo in another area of the vehicle(console)
I am asking because im going to be driving soon and about a year ago i was in the passenger seat of my mothers car (my mom in the drivers seat)and this crazy lady spewing out profanity and aproaching my moms side of the vehicle(the family van) in a very hostile manner .
Now i know my mom has options here being over the age of 21,she can get a concealed carry permit I on the other hand cannot legally posess a pistol(again im 18) and cannot get a concealed carry permit ,wondering what options i have open if not firearms can u suggest what i can use for self defense in my ride?

Re: in the car
I'm fairly sure that you have to be 21 to have a handgun in your posession, and you'll need a permit.
Here's what I carried before I was old enough to CC:
Manondock 21"Autolock Baton
Fox Labs 2oz OC
Spyderco endura
Surefire Light
that should help you havdle most situations.

Re: in the car
How about...
stay out of trouble.
Dont curse back at people.
Dont drive like an a-hole.
Turn that damn music down.
Dont flip off the moron who just cut you off.
KEEP A CELL-PHONE AND CALL POLICE IF YOU ARE PURSUED
If someone starts shit, back away, drive away and go away.
You shouldnt really need a gun to "defend your ride" nor your status.

Re: in the car
If you get pulled over by a cop (for what ever reason), it's highly likely he'll ask if there are any drugs or weapons in the car...
How would you answer that, if you had a gun in the console?
If you lied and the cop searches the car (again, quite likely), you won't have to worry about getting a license to carry or even owning a gun.
LorDiego01 posted some excellent advice. If you're mature enough to follow it...in a few years you'll be mature enough to carry a gun.

Re: in the car
Not only that...if you are carrying a firearm, you have a greater responsibility to avoid a confrontation by any safe means. For example: Some guy pulls out in front of you and you blow the horn and flip him off. He stops in front of you and gets out with a bat or a knife. Things go from bad to worse and you end up shooting the guy. Any witnesses will testify that you were the one who started the confrontation by blowing and flipping. Granted, that doesn't justify his coming at you with a weapon, but the prosecutor could still use that against you.
