Poll: Who carries a pistol in their car?

[Dutch Uncle]

I drive a tank.

Of course you do, Fredo. No doubt you are very good at making VROOOM, VROOOM! noises too.

 

[Dutch Uncle]

Let's take a situation that is a bit more vague. You see another driver with something that looks like a gun. In most US states, you have no obligation to retreat, so you can shoot the other driver in self defense. In most of the rest of the world, you have an obligation to retreat. That means only when absolutely cornered can you claim self defense, so you are required to flee in the car you are lucky to be in.

Now lets say the gun is not real. Or the other driver had no intention to shoot you. Or whatever. The point is that in the rest of the world the other driver is not dead, and in the USA the other driver is another victim of mistaken self defense.

Hotheads can overreact. I can see MAGAts shooting kids, but @WinterBorn struck me as having a much cooler head.

If I see a gun, and it is not pointed at me, I figure I show my gun and dissuade them from continuing.

doxxing is against the rules.

It wouldn't be the first time.

Dick Cheney is a black-hearted Republican. Just because he doesn't bend the knee for a pedophile traitor doesn't mean he's a Lefty.

he's a Democrat now.

Democrats are full of rancid imbecillic neocons like you and cheney.

My rules are:
1. Never pull a gun unless you plan to use it.
2. If you use it, shoot to kill.

A double-tap is a recommended minimum, but there's a lot to be said about emptying the magazine. Just be sure stray rounds don't end up hurting an innocent.

You should go back to playing with your toy tank, Fredo. You're not making sense now.

I always told my wife, and later my g/f, to empty the gun. Easier to claim they feared for their life.

That's the advice police have told me. One neat hole between the running lights is a harder sell of "I was in fear of my life" than a couple in the chest followed by a few in the walls and ceiling.

when someone pulls a gun, I pull out my dick.

I told your wife and your girlfriend to empty my balls.

And to be clear, I am not arguing the rest of the world is right. I am saying that the rest of the world has a different definition of what is self defense, and that makes having a gun in a car less reasonable.

Your sex play is your business, as long as everyone is a consenting adult.

here is what I learned from comedian Louis ck:

if you ask some female friends if you can jack off in front of them, don't do it even if they say yes.

he got me too'd by masturbating.

Agreed other countries are different. The thread is about carrying a gun in the car in the US, not packing heat in Germany or Japan.
