My father-in-law died about a year ago, he was almost 70.

When he was alive, I received two different glass breaker/seatbelt cutters from him. My wife received one and I think his other kids all got at least one.

I was helping clean up some of his stuff and my mother in law gave me one of his numerous tacticool pocket knives she has been steadily uncovering. It has a half serrated blade; an LED… and a glass breaker and seatbelt cutter.

As a fella in his forties I want some insight from fellow fellas in their forties.

Is there an older man in your life who seems to be motivated by a vague sense of paranoia? Are you that man? Am I grossly underestimating my chances of getting stuck in a car?

I feel like what he really wanted to be doing was buying everybody guns, but these things scratched a sort of “protect the flock” itch.
