The name derives from the original purpose of the compartment: to store gloves.

I have a torque wrench in my trunk. Never thought of using it as a weapon, but it's in my trunk one way or another .

Other than that, no weapons.

I gotta utility buck knife (3 1/2 in blade) in my center console for protection. It makes a handy tool as well. If your gonna keep something on you for protection, have it close by, not in the trunk! (unless you gotta shotty or something else large).

no, I don't have a gun, cuz I know I would never use it even I was the top shooter in the army training.
COme to think of it, I used to carry a big maglite flashlight, for emergences, also as weapon. But Since Vegas is fine, and I don't go to bad areas anyway, I don't have anything in my cars now. Hey, the car itself could be dealy weapon anyway.

3D cell maglite, it fits in the forearm very nicely *tonfa style* its also useful if you need to actually use it for its designed purpose.

Like once, some guy walked up to my car and asked for a ride and i was trying to get out and he kept bugging and looked like he was on crack, also i saw him at the car wash and i was washing my RX400h, he came and got in and"pretended" to act like he was helping because he "worked" there.
I'm not trying to be a smarta** here , but if you can afford such expensive cars, perhaps the money would be better spent on moving to a home in a better and SAFER part of town.

I carry a SOG Flash II knife with me everywhere I go (including a plane once by accident), and sometimes a canister of OC (including a plane once by accident).
