I often have a 4' long digital level in the Z. It's pretty sturdy and could do some damage if necessary. However, I store it immediately behind the strut bar in the hatch which means it's only removable via the hatch door. Not very useful in most situations that might arise.
A bit off topic, but if you have a CHL in Texas, you are much more likely to get in trouble for using your firearm in an emergency situation. It's because you have taken training and you should know better. If you don't have a carry license, you don't know any better, so it's ok to shoot someone in self defense; and it's still legal for you to have a gun in the vehicle if you don't have a license
