And what do you plan to do with it? Just in case somebody challenges you for a quick game...

On a serious note, people shouldn't carry any weapons in their cars unless they really know how to use it and when to use it, else you could get into lot of trouble. If you attack somebody with it in case of road rage, you can't claim self-defense, carrying weapon shows intent. If you do carry a weapon, make sure about two things:

1) Use it only in case of robbery or car-jacking, self-defence clause applies only to such cases and not road rage situation. This was clarified by supreme court last year.
2) Know how to use it effectively, which means more than just swinging it.
