I posted my going down stories in one of the other threads a few weeks back so I’m not reposting it. As for the moron that has a carry permit, I can’t wait till you pull it on someone and they shoot you in the face. Bottom line, you have no right, as soon as you pull in on the other person if they feel threatened you are toast and your family won’t have a pot to piss in when it comes to a civil case. What a fucking moron, Now I know why they changed the application process again when I went to go get mine renewed. They probably saw this tool and figured they better stop handing them out like candy. ---

I just heard about this thread. Wow, you guys really took that comment way too literary (yeah, I did say it literary but wanted to express how much i hate people who kill other people because they are not being safe). I was just offering some riding tips. And trying to get my point across about how dangerous stupid drivers are when your riding. If someone does hit YOU (like i said) they are responsible for what they did. Have you ever been on a bike on the highway going 65-70 mph and then someone gets over without looking and you have the choice of either breaking really hard and hope they over shoot you or accelerating out of it? Yes I know it’s a risk you take when you get on the bike but that doesn’t mean it’s not their fault. Especially if someone is not using turn signals or driving safely while around a bike. They should be responsible for any accidents they cause. Just like I would never speed through a populated play ground. Then again I will speed on the highway if no cars are around. Am I going to literary get crashed at 70mph slide to a stop then then get up and shoot someone? no, probably not, but I would probably want to. Use common sense and try not to take things out of context. After someone hits you with a car… Maybe I’m different than some people that would not be mad about getting crashed but every time I see a dangerous close call from what I can see they are not very happy or wanting good things for the almost crashers. I also read some of the other posts on here about carrying. Personally I have been carrying ever since I got my permit when I turned of age. I always shoot when I pull my gun. I never threaten with it. Guns are for shooting, I would use like a baseball bat or wrench to threaten someone if I had too. (Hopefully so they will also get a weapon, then you have a much better chance in court when you do shoot them :)) ---
