You know...to repel boarders, smash and grabs at stop lights, that type of thing. Yeah man, I've got some mace but a blunt instrument would be quicker at hand. Or maybe a sharp instrument? Yup, I've had a concealed carry permit for over 30 years, but I can get a big wrench, pipe or hatchet, working from between the seats way before I could ever draw my weapon from concealment while being strapped in my vehicle.
