Over a year ago a car hit a bike(from behind) on I-12 outside.......well I guess inside of Baton Rouge and knocked him over 100 yards. The bike was probably doing about 75 and you can guess what the car was doing. Yes the biker got killed. Yes we really do need to watch our ass-end. In cities like these we really need to stay OFF the interstate as much as possible. I go in each morning practically "in the dark" @ 5:50 a.m. and travel 75 to 80 m.p.h..  At this speed I STILL have people running up my ass, flashing lights, blowing horns, and flipping me off while wanting me, I guess, to pull off the f_ucking road altogether. I own many weapons but my car carry is the old trusty .38 Special. Weekends, it's the .357 Magnum lever rifle with a 4-12  scope with AO on it. 18 and an half inch barrel. It's an insane world out there. Be careful.
This will really get your blood pumping at 6 in the morning.

You're gonna have to do a side job and hope to God you don't crash.  At times I carry crossdraw for the snub under a windbreaker. Be kind to that 870 dude. That is a fine piece.  I wish you well.
