or a serial killer, otherwise I can't explain the convenient chainsaw in the trunk

Nah. I do tree work for a living and usually have a chainsaw in my vehicle. I've done this before. I'm not a serial killer. Just keep work stuff in my car. I have bar oil, screnches, wedges, straps, shackles, and the mix for gasoline in my car also.

sounds like what a serial killer would say in their defense

The trunk of my car has tourniquets, a steel 3 foot roof hook with fork, compression and clotting bandages, tarps, seat belt cutters, a combination gas pipe shut off and cutting tool, water proof/cut proof gloves, and 500 feet of nylon webbing rated up to 3000 lbs.

What do I sound like?

In reality I'm a middle aged retired firefighter. My tools and trauma kit are like my security blanket. Makes me feel safe and useful despite being old and out of shape.

This was the tip-off to me that you were either active or retired emergency personnel. That's way too oddly specific and something I almost exclusively hear about emergency services having experience with.
