keep a loaded squirt gun in my car at all times . . . just in case

This seemed like a great goal, until I realized that water guns are generally cheap toys. I really didn’t want an entire water gun leaking onto the floor under my seat, so I reluctantly gave up on the endeavor.

Spring has arrived. Despite some snow this week (in April!), it’s time to get a gun for my car. I’ll probably be stopping by the 5&10 store this week to stock up.

I realized that the cold, wintry weather poses a problem: If I put a loaded squirt gun in my car now, the best case scenario is that I have an ice pistol instead of a water pistol. Another likely possibility is that the water freezes, expands, breaks the plastic squirt gun, and then leaks all over the floor/trunk/glove compartment when it thaws.

So, looks like I’ll have to wait until spring for this one. I did look for a nice but cheap squirt gun today, but I didn’t find anything that caught my eye.
