    Find a place to hang a magnet mount inside a modern commercial truck and let me know you have trapped a unicorn!

    Depending on locale, I'd sort of expect the principal actors in some of these fights to have something back in their truck, and things just didn't escalate that far. There are more things in trucks than anyone will ever let on, even playing radio or internet Rambo. The loudest mouths frequently belong to the weakest individuals.

    Yeah the first guy is the smart fella probably never had to use the gun on anyone but he’s not stupid it’s best to have it and not need than to need it and not have it. Always avoids comfrontation because he knows the responbility and liability that owning a firearm brings.

    Then you got Mr.Bigshot, Aka Mr.GiveMeAnExcuse. Anytime you get into a heated argument he will hint in someway about the gun stashed in his truck. Probably will be killed because of his stupidity cause now he let a would be attacker know not to let him in his truck.

    I fall into the first category and have found that I keep my opinions to myself for the most part when faced with the idiocy of today's truck drivers simply because I don't want to open myself up to a situation where I might need it. It's great to have the means to defend one's self, but one HAS to understand the ramifications of doing so. There is a better than good chance that you will be cuffed, at the very least, and probably booked. I'm not pulling unless I need to, and then it isn't a scare tactic, it's the real deal. I'm certainly not even hinting that I'm armed in a verbal confrontation. That's just stupid.

    Of course, all this is only hypothetical, since guns are bad and I'm afraid of them and don't carry one. I can dial 911 really fast.

    Exactly this... if it comes out it's because it needs to be used, and you'd best be prepared to pull that trigger. Whoopin' it out to scare someone will get you nothing but dead.

    The hole in the pants was made to align with the hole in the sleeper floor.
