I have 2 residences. One where it is impossible to get a pistol carry permit. I can get a target permit which requires me to transport the pistol unloaded. The other residence in the same state makes pistol carry permits extremely easy to get and allows me to carry in over 20 other states. Guess which permit I have. Stealing a gun is a felony I believe.

The only thing I want to know is why the f%$k the gun wasn't already loaded.   An unloaded gun is as much use as a f%$king paper weight.

IDK, I wasnt the dumbass trying to bluff with a pistol .. as for it being useless, have you ever been konked on the head with ANY weapon? It sucks..regardless of it being loaded or not

But I think we are getting off track here, lets not hijack this thread -- Point is Jlittle is unharmed, and road rage is intolerable when I'm on only two friggin wheels...

Which brings the question: Whats a good way to get rid of tailgaters? especially when your ALREADY going OVER the speed limit.  -->> What I have done is try a highspeed wobble (not so much that I lose control, but enough to look like it) and the car backed off 100ft -- but 20 minutes later she was on my ass again and it didnt work a second time

I always just try to get over as soon as possible and slow down so much that they have no choice but to go around me.

terry kills me...i would not want to get on his wrong side    as for your situation this is where riding skill such as lane splitting would have been handy.  road rage is scary and car vs bike the bike will always loose.  this reminds me of an incident about 5 years ago on my tlr1000.  a guy pulled out of a gas station right in front of me at a light which was red.  i had to brake hard and got a bit of a wobble on.  i rolled up beside this guy and asked him what he thought he was doing..he was pissy and told me i had plenty of time to stop. this told me he say me and was no mistake.  so i punched his door with my kevlar gloves...wow i was surprised at the damage it caused.  when the light turned green he decided to chase me.  so i took off...then i waited for him...then i took off again.  then i went into a large parking lot and he followed.  by this time i was having fun.   he was chasing me around parked cars and i sped up to the point where i was behind him.  too frigin funny.  then i just took off.   i don't think he will be f%$king with guys on bikes again

Even if it were illegal, I'd lane split to get away from a raging cager....Why stay and put oneself in danger. But then...I hate cagers at the moment.

make that one hate you somewhat after you rape their pocketbook/wallet, heh lol, how ya been doin   

i've hear stories around my city that some motorcycle gangs in downtown charleston, SC carry ball bearings or buck shots or lug nuts w/e it may be.

and when a car comes really close to them they chuck it at the drivers window and speed off....

and in downtown charleston its usually a 2 lane road 1 commin in and one comming out. 

i think about doing somethin like this sometimes but i don't want to be classified as another delinquent in this town of mine.

but option to avoid road ragers are lay off or speed off to where he can't follow you.

i can't say do'nt throw the bird cuz i do it all the time when ppl serve into my lane with out looking. 

but try to ride safe man. 

I get idiots like this every day riding around London, i started off being over defensive and fighting back if someone took the piss but some of the areas i ride through i could see myself getting shot sooner or later so now if i can't blast past them and away i'll hang right back and let them piss someone else off instead, it's when you catch up to them stuck in traffic somewhere you can get your own back if need be, a swift downward swipe of the fist onto the top of the wingmirror will normally take it straight off although others have preferred to take the jousting technique with leg sticking out forward and booting it off!

Also heard of people carrying a kids plastic water pistol and filling it with brake fluid, a few squirts along the paintwork wont be noticed by the driver for a while, there's also the diamond dust glued to the knuckle protectors of gloves, a good drag along the paintwork or windows will leave something for the driver to remember you by.....
Key removal can only be possible with certain cars, if you have to lean right in to get them you risk being either dragged into the car by the driver or worse still, they could take off up the road with you hanging on for dear life! Wouldn't advise that one. :s

I think the best by far though is when someone performs a dangerous move on you and either has an accident themselves for concentrating on you more than the road ahead or they get caught bang to rights by the police, i've had both happen to me and i gotta say they actually left me feeling more justified than the  revenge attack.

this is what guns are for, and replacement barrels.

But before the driver was able to get into fighting stance my friend beat him to the ground with his polycarbonate knuckles -- as well as one of their friends who tried loading a gun.. The third vanilla ice wannabe backed off and submitted and my friend left with their wallets, keys, and a new .45

And *I* have anger management issues?

Actually yes, I did, now I am older and understand what "Discretion is the better part of valor" means!

Get their plate # if possible, maybe you can find out where they live and leave a nice note on the windshield that you and your gangsta buds will be waiting for him next time he comes home (of course you never actually DO anything!, the perp just thinks Oh Sheet!) or report them to the cops (who are pretty much mostly bullies and assholes) but I'd suggest don't EVER try to"finish" any altercation with a car, these days you can end up run over or shot or both. At the first sign of trouble just find a safer spot to be, cars are dangerous enough with SANE people behind the wheel, and even nice guys can turn into Mr. Hydes when they get in a car. I'd rather run on my bike or just back off, and if they slow down to eff with me, go around traffic and then take off, traffic permitting, or take a ramp and get back on to put traffic between us. I do that in a car too! It's just not worth it. If I had got that dumbarse's truck in my youth, and he'd got my plates, I could have been arrested for assault. Same with a weapon, that's brandishing at the least. That doesn't look good on a background check when you're trying to get a job.

Well like someone said before, if a cop didnt see it -- it didnt happen...therefore it would be my word *cough* i mean my friends word against his
