i just started using a brake stick a few weeks ago. the lite weight makes it a great thing to have in a tight spot. in my opinion, i think the general public sorta dislikes us. they think we get paid millions of dollars to ride up and down the tracks making noise and blocking crossings when we feel like it. im always thinking that one day some pissed off *** is gonna get tired of waiting on me to clear the crossing and get out and come at me. i have a right to defend myself, and since they don't want us carrying guns, i'm gonna make full use of anything i can pick up. as far as the bosses not knowing that some of us do carry, what they don't know could save one of our lives. i had rather have a gun and not need it, than to need one and not have it.
