I tell you what. ANY one shooting into my vehicle will have to deal with me if they did not take me out the first round. Especially if I am a big rig. I have no problems taking them and their vehicle into the barrier with fuel tanks and drives. SQUISH. Being shot at tends to make me aggressive enough to weaponize my vehicle. Then the law can come sort out the mess.
These days as a licensed carry, I am very very very much a church mouse. You would not know it. I hope no one ever finds out. IT would make me very happy never to have used those 255 grain hardcast jacket rounds in super. -
People have absolutely no regard for the value of a human life anymore. This poor driver (thank God he/she survived!) was just out there doing his job. I'm sure the truck was in the way some how, and I'd like the think that the driver was being courteous and cautious. If not, it's still not worth getting shot at (unless the driver is a homicidal maniac running cars over and the like using the truck as a weapon).

I forget the exact details but on the south end of the old Blown up Robert E Lee Bridge in the core of downtown, I recall the threat levels being pretty high up. The last begger or addict that came to me with hand out, I told that one HA. Money? Forget it. Smoke? Coffee? Warm Cab out of the rain a hour or whatever but actual cash money? HA. They don't pay me enough.
Addict did not believe me until I showed empty chain drive wallet. Oh. You don't have money. Interesting. How about a working girl?
I tell you what Im happy that whatever they think goes down in that part of town, they can very well keep it. I have tried to make sure that I stayed the hell out of there. God knows Ive live loaded ball bearings out of there and worked with cranes putting my roofing foam onto buildings near the old interstate downtown being built there. But frankly, they can pretty it all they want. But the rot and immoral society is right there sticking to your underfoot.
The cash money? Concealed money belt. They would have to go through me to get to it. -
