No need. I saw this on a gadget site. It's a small ultrasonic device that'll shatter the window when you attach it and activate it. My friend has one.

Only a paranoid person or one with control issues would feel the need to carry a weapon in their car. This is just my personal opinion of course.
Well it's Canada so I don't think I need one or at least I don't feel the need to have one.

Crime lives everywhere, not just in bad areas.

i carry a folding knife on me all the time, keep a crow bar in the trunk, OC spray in the arm rest, and a screw driver in the glove compartment and on the side of the door. Hooray for California.

I didn't know that many people carry guns in their cars. If you're driving an Escalade or Navigator, then it would be better to have a bodyguard.

Durex......

I used to have a Motorola brick phone, beat the crap out of the bastard and then call the police, but now the largest I have is my RAZR.

Aside from that, whatever happens...happens.

The tennis rackets in my trunk?... but no, I feel a huge burden of responsibility to carry weapons of any sort. Pepper spray is the farthest I'd go.

you live in texas, get a CCW and a concealable handgun. I just bought a springfield XD and an AR15. Once I train my mom (you heard me), bro, and myself all three of us will take a concealed handgun class.

Living in a good neighborhood doesnt guarantee anything, when all that Katrina trash came over, crime increased everywhere and even in good areas of town like NW houston and Katy
