What non automotive accessories do you carry in your car?

Not that I do or ever did make a habit of picking up hitch hikers, but I always felt that if someone was using dishonest tactics to get a ride in the first place I couldn't trust them to be in my car anyway.




When I go out of state or camping I always have my Colt 3.57 but when on the dirt bike I carry a 380 auto in my hydration pack inside a ziplock bag to keep the dust out of it.
The home defense "go to" is a sawed off because it will clear a good area and not hurt neighbors.
Also have a Remington 30.06 with a 10 power scope and a bipod, as well as a Wasser 10 (Romanian 7.62 AK.)

Guns are and have been part of my life since I was old enough to hold one.
The only time one came out in seriousness was when our Daughter came running in the house crying and said 3 (dark skinned) guys in a lowered blue S10 chased her trying to first get her in the pickup with them, and when she wouldn't do that they tried to cut her off from getting home and one jumped out chasing her on foot.
She ended up running through yards and between houses while the truck kept going around the block to try and cut her off while the one on foot chased her.

She described the pickup to me and I grabbed the AK and a 20 round clip and jumped in my truck and went looking for them. (never found them) which in the end was probably a good thing.
The Wife called the police and reported the indecent so when I pulled back in the driveway the cop saw the AK.
He asked what it was for and I just looked at him without saying anything.
He said I could get in a lot of trouble with "that thing" and I said "not as much as the guys that chased our Daughter".
I wouldn't have intentionally shot any of them, but I sure as hell would have told them to get out of the truck and ventilated it real good to make a point.

My Father drove a black 1969 Lincoln (Mark3?) I think it was.
His car gun was a 9mm Mac10, but he was a law enforcement officer with special licensing.
I remember that thing laying in the back seat whenever we went on trips
Guns is my other hobby besides cars I do alot of gunsmithing projects i enjoy building rifles i have built several from just a receiver. I have one I'm working on now a buddy of mine accidentally ran it over with his truck It bent the barrel and broke the stock and safety off but the bolt and receiver was still good. I told him I could fix it for him but he just bought a new gun and sold me the receiver. I made a new safety got a new stock and am in the process now of rebarreling it I got the new barrel in yesterday as s matter of fact just gotta get my headspace gauges and set the barrel. I went with a 24" 338 federal its gonna be my new deer gun. Iv built several mausers and others too they are alot of fun and its really gratifying to shot and hunt with a gun you built from "scratch" as far as my defense guns for my home I also have a couple shotguns. I built (restored) an old iver Johnson champion shotgun this winter I bought it at an auction for 40 bucks it was rough I have some before pictures on an sd card somewhere but here is the after picture
