Road Trip question
Road Trip question
Ok, maybe I'm a little paranoid...
Kind of an odd question, but does anybody know if you're allowed to have a "weapon" in the passenger seat? I'm talking just like a baseball bat. I'm driving to Memphis alone, and of course it most likely wouldn't be necessary, but who knows where I might end up or what could happen during this 20 hr drive. I'm just trying to plan for all possible situations. I don't want this trip to go wrong in any way.
I mean, like, if I get pulled over by a cop, will I be in trouble for having something like that in the passenger seat? I wouldn't think so, right? Baseball players must drive around with bats all the time.
Somebody relieve my paranoia with an anecdote, please!

In all seriousness, you definately have to be smart if your thinking about using a weapon in a fight, because if you use it and dont put them out of commision, then they have a license to fuck you up bigtime. As long as you stay on the highways and dont go into the ass-raping, Deliverance towns along the way you should be allright without a bat.
Yeah, I'll just be sticking to highways. The situation I was planning for mainly is if my car breaks down and I end up in some freaky little garage in a little town. I'd be catching some chainsaw massacre vibes.sirhC wrote:In all seriousness, you definately have to be smart if your thinking about using a weapon in a fight, because if you use it and dont put them out of commision, then they have a license to fuck you up bigtime.

Just tell the cop you play baseball - he wouldnt take you to jail for that, but by no means say "its for my protection" because then it does start to look like a weapon. Hell, you could keep the bat in your trunk and throw a few baseballs and maybe a glove, a hat to make it look like you play baseball - but you pobably wouldnt have a problem with a baseball bat - just keep it in the trunk. I keep a glock 17 in my truck and I have a concealed pistol permit that is a reciprocal for about 20 states - most of them in the south/southeast and mid west region - so I can pretty much take it where ever I want. But I wouldnt be paranoid over a baseball bat - unless it has jagged-homemade spikes sticking out of the end, then you should be fine...

or.... you can get a pocket knife and keep it in your glove comparment or your center console... as long as the blade is no longer than the palm of your hand or 3 inches... your fine... but the baseball bat would be way more fun to strike somebody with
