Is This The Best Road Trip Self Defense Setup?
About this video
Colion teams up with fellow creator Talon Sy to demonstrate and discuss their personal road-trip self-defense setups. Both presenters walk through their modular gear choices—including compact rifle-caliber pistols, concealed-carry handguns, armor plates, and secure storage—while Colion emphasizes how he adapts his kit based on destination, state laws, and the need to stay compact and mobile during long road trips.
Key takeaways
- Colion advocates for a layered approach when traveling: a compact rifle-caliber option (he uses a SIG Rattler in .300 Blackout with a suppressor), a higher-capacity sidearm for the bag (Glock 48 with extended magazines), and a slimmer concealed-carry pistol (Glock 43X).
- He stresses the importance of planning routes around state firearm and NFA laws, adjusting gear (removing suppressors, using locked cases) when crossing into restrictive jurisdictions.
- Colion recommends incorporating a ballistic plate into a carry backpack for passive protection and keeping a life pod lock box and medical supplies accessible in the vehicle.
