Maybe I should rephrase. Those items can get you a ride to the station for reasonable suspicion. Ask a Game and Fish officer.

That means he would have one as well. Being on the outside looking in, it's not hard to figure out why there are so many gun related deaths in the U.S.

The guy that attacked the OP didn't deserve to be shot, he did deserve a punch in the face and a good beatdown though. The guy was a road rager that doesn't know when to draw the line. Karma has a strange way of keeping things balanced. Sooner or later he'll meet the person that'll give him what he deserves.

I agree with you on the karma, it has a way of catching up with people.

It would cost more to kill him than most of us could afford anyway.
Court costs would kill you. I'd personally rather take an *** whoopin than go to court over a slime ball like that dying.

I think the ride on the door will help him change his tactics a little.
He had road rage, and got some road rash.

I think the OP did the best thing he could have under the circumstances. But the Internet Ninjas do tell some good stories.

I hate it that it happened to you and damaged your truck, but sometimes, **** happens. Good luck in the future

kimber makes a 2 shot pepper spray device. check their web site. it is supposed to be accurate. its the size of a small wallett. i have one in my truck and if i have to stop to use the rest room at a road side stop i take it. also if i have to walk from the truck to a store at night in the parking lot. i put it in my back pocket so if they want my wallet thats what they would get in the face. ccw in jersey is illegal

My uncle is a Texas Game Warden. They will not/and cannot do any such thing legally. No if you were caught shining the light out the window with the shotgun in your hand, that would be a different story.

In the WTF is wrong with people vein...

I was driving home from a movie with my girlfriend on Saturday and came to a red light. I was in the right hand lane in my MX-6 and there was a 4door Silverado beside me, and another lane on the other side of the Silverado. At this intersection, the four lanes continue on to four lanes, with the lane I was in having the choice of two right turning lanes. The other two lanes are supposed to go to the two left hand lanes which are left turning lanes. This is the intersection, if that helps.

Anyways, when the light turned green I kept in the left-most right turning lane, as I wanted to be on the inside lane of the street I had to turn on to. The way traffic tends to flow at this intersection is that the two right lanes go to the two right lanes and the leftmost lane picks between two left turning lanes, which is totally wrong but no one knows better around here.... being in such a low car next to a fullsize pickup didn't turn out so well and next thing I knew I almost lost my mirror and my girlfriend is freaking out. I don't know what it is but when the car is driving my horn works intermittently so here I am trying to honk my horn but its pulsing on. Finally the truck realizes I'm right there and swerves away. They end up behind me and in the other right turning lane and get right up beside me and the lady driving it starts flailing her arms and her mouth is flapping I just dropped to a lower gear and sped away.

People that don't know how intersections work really bother me!

I got shot at Sunday night cause of road rage, dude was on my ***. I did the polite brake tap, nothing. So I was on a dirt road, stomped it and went side to side sprayed rocks all over him. He came back, then I saw some mud slowed way down hit the mud the spun it all over him. He rolls down his window and pulls a 22, lucky my truck was faster than his car.

Did you get his plate # by chance, I think they have to investigate that when reported. People like that shouldn't own a gun.

No front plates in Florida, black car. Just look for the one with a whole lot of paint chips and covered in mud. Kind of a jerk in what I did, but he shouldnt be drafting off me.
