    SBR AR w 300 blackout subsonic and can. Go big and quiet or go home. Bonus on not attracting attention to elimination of threat. Only if legal to have a truck gun of course in an NFA friendly state. In communist occupied MD I think I'm legally obligated to throw the keys to the criminal and bend over or the AG Brian Frosh will come after me.

    I didn't read all this, but assuming this is a serious thread I gotta ask what you are doing that you expect to be attacked while in your vehicle? Maybe you should look for a different route. Or step on the gas and get the hell out of there. If things are that bad and you can't do that I'd say you are pretty screwed anyway and a fancy keychain or can of bear spray isn't going to be worth shit. Common sense is your best defense. If you lack that...

    Unfortunately shit goes down when you least expect it. I've been approached 2X by weirdos unexpectedly in the last year. One was getting out of my truck at work on a Sunday morning. I got out, closed the door and he was behind me.

    The other was at a gas station early Saturday morning, the guy pulled in behind me like he was going into the store and approached me when I was outside my truck. I had the gas handle in my hand and the pump on and ready to give him a bath.

    I have a CCP but only got it to carry when traveling. I'm seriously thinking about carrying at all times. Neither of those times could have been prevented by planning, taking off, or situational awareness.

    Lol on the "immune to pepper spray" comments. I make my own from habaneros soaked in alcohol to spray in my engine bay to keep rodents out. A few pumps of it with your head turned will illicit uncontrollable gagging and retching and I love super hot peppers. A full spray to the face would put your ass down for the count.

    I don't expect to be attacked in my vehicle. I also don't expect to get into an accident but I still wear my seatbelt in case I do.

    first, anything is lethal if used properly and you can be charged as such. 2nd - dcell mag-light is my choice. 3rd - martial art of some sort preferably Brazilian jiu jitsu. 4th - understand verbal skills.

    using hardware to fix a software issue doesn't work.
