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 :))
