There are MANY things drivers use for self protection......
a tire checker[thumper]...but it MUST be labeled as such,
hair spray, claw hammers, breaker bar,...etc.
I kept several 3' and 4' lengths of polybutylene pipe, and if
asked, they were 'tools' that I used to push chains through
the bottom of pallets with.
DOT in CA took my softball bat.....and I really did use it at
batting cages, for exercise, when I had a chance.
