Trucker Facing Felony Charges for Protecting His Truck

I was parked at the Ocala FL Pilot, the one with the farm stand in front, a few weeks ago. It was probably six at night, still daylight, lots of other trucks around and people. guy comes up trying to sell wheel cleaning services, first thing he says is hey im not armed...lol. Sorta caught me by surprise.

My opinion for those who have nearby handgun protection in their truck, I would hope that you would use that as your very last resort as I'm sure most do.

I'm all for the gun rights. I grew up that way and it is part of our culture. Sometimes the new CCW culture alarms me some because it seems that some always make it a point to let you know that they have a CCW and have guns. In some of these cases it seems more like a "status" symbol than the exercise of the right. Sorta like running around announcing who you voted for in the last election to be cool or part of a club.

We recently had a case of road rage between two four wheelers here in michigan just north of grand rapids. LOL, they were both CCW holders and they shot each other dead after pulling into a parking lot. true story.

 

Those two were obviously people that should not of had a CCW, but since they took each other out, I guess, problem solved?

 

I'm not going to go as far to say that they should not have had a CCW but for sure something went way wrong here. If you pull out a piece...it's for real.

Heres a link to that story out of Ionia, Michigan..happened this past summer. Easy for the cops..no one to charge.

some1 was getting shot that day..better both of us than just me lol

 

What I meant by that remark was a gun should be used as a LAST resort only, you could argue that they were each "defending" themselves from the other, but the truth is, either one of them could of simply drove on, they were both out to "prove" who had the bigger ####(gun).

I am ALL for gun owners rights, I just think that with some of these guys, something gets lost in the translation.


JMHO

 

I'd just let them slash it...

 

That is so fake, if I take the valve core out of a fully inflated tire I don't blow over

 

The size of the opening makes all the difference, which is why you can't seat a bead through the valve of a large tire. That, and you're gradually opening the valve...

Look at this chart and consider that 100 psi is 14400 psf, yeah it's off the chart.
