the nerve of this prick on the freeway!!!
so i'm driving to work traffic is moving at about 75 and all of a sudden this pick up in the lane over doing about 60 comes into my lane. What you don't understand is that my front bumper was already past his rear bumper!! I had to lock them up and tapped is rear end (no damage) and I get on the horn and this dude has the nerve to stick his hand out the window and flick me off!! I try to get next to him but he cuts me off again. Finally i get to the side of him, roll down my window and start letting him know my mind. Traffic is comming to a stop about 100 yards ahead so i get behind him so i won't lose him. I write down the plates and when we come to a stop...this dude opens his door like he's waiting for me to get out...we are on the freeway. So i open mine get out and this dude and I start yelling at each other on the middle of the 605...as i shut my door and am all the way out he gets in and takes off. Well the good news is theres no damage...but i have his plate #'s and am thinking bout turning him in...but think i'll get in trouble since i hit the back of him....what you guys think i should do? I'm just gonna drop it i think.

A cop once told me, Keep your gun in a locked compartment, your ammo in the glovebox and 3 bullets in your pocket at all times.
Sometimes you just dont have time for the glovebox. I am looking into the legality of keeping my firearm in the armrest in my back seat. Technically it locks and so does my glove compartment. When I go down to the PD to fight my illegal turn ticket I'm gonna ask the firearms licenser.

Sometimes going apeshit doesn't pay off.
But I must agree, if it was me in the same situation, I would have gotten out of the car and mopped the guy.

Too many crazy mofo's out there. I'd just get his license plate and let the cops have a chance to deal with it. Or seek retribution on his car later.

I would turn him in, say he cut you off and switched lanes into you, then when you beeped at him to have him pull over, say he took off. That sounds like what happened anyway, so you're telling the truth and busting this guy at the same time....

I guess people don't get shot in CA?
I'm the same way, I get pissed off and get out of car and shit. Looking back at some of the things that I have done, especially in some of the areas that I go to here in NYC, kinda makes me think how stupid I am sometimes. :-O

Yeah, but getting out of your car on the freeway? I'm just saying I wouldn't do it, especially since my friend and his dad got a gun pulled on them and they didn't have one in their car at the time.

OK OK WAIT!! All you guys say get a gun?? You guys are nuts. say some guy pulls a gun on you, are you gonna pull a gun on him? And which one of you guys has the balls to shoot it? Maybe he does. I say if a guy pulls a gun on you just suck up your ego, that all he wants. Just get back in your car and go to the gym and work it off. I mean people who have guns just want to scare other people.. and proabbly dont even want to shoot it. If he doesnt have a gun.. then beat the fuckn crap out of him.

You have to realize that when you drive, you are accepting a certain amount of risk. Part of that risk is that people ARE lousy drivers and they WILL do stupid things. You can't be ready to beat the crap out of every moron who drives like shit. What if he's on PCP or is drunk and beats the crap out of YOU and puts YOU in the hospital? Is it worth it? Not for a $30K automobile.
Turn him in as a hit and run, get your new bumper and let HIM deal with all the bullshit that comes with it (last time I looked, hit-and-run was a felony in CA).

Problem is that he could just as easlily claim that you made a wild move into his lane and you hit him from behind. So it's your word against his, and since you hit him from behind, I think you'll lose.
As for all of the gun talk, you all sound like idiots.
To shoot someone over a scratched car is stupid. Get control of your hormones. You don't have to constantly prove your manhood.

Obtaining a concealed weapons permit is very easy here in Texas, and I have two registered guns in my home to protect my family in case we are being robbed or victimized in some way. But I'm sure as hell not going to carry one around with me like the Lone Freakin' Ranger. It has to do with crossing a line you can never cross back over again.

I had an retired cop show me how to use my gun and handle it responsibly. He always told me, never to draw my gun unless your gonna use it, even when you do, fire a warning shot (in the air) to show your not afraid to pull that trigger, you'd be surprised how well warning shots work. Never fire your gun unless your target is threatening you with equivalent force, if you don't follow that, it's called murder not defense.
I honestly think if I ever had to use my gun I would probably go for a leg and not a fatal hit. People say, "If someone entered my house, they are dead" and that's why so many family members have been killed by their own family. Always shoot for a non-fatal area unless you know who you are shooting at or if they are firing back.
The reason I say don't get out of your car fighting is you never know who you are arguing with. That guy could of had a gun, what if he did? What would you have done? The best thing to do is avoid these confrontations BUT if they happen for whatever reason:
I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
Remember, when the cops show up YOU are a criminal with a gun, be ready to call your lawyer. This advice is from a retired cop so don't crucify me.

Happy CL-S Pilot
For me owing a gun means this:
1) Know how to use your gun.
2) Know When to use your gun.
3) Live the consequences of your actions.
A gun is a basically a KILLING tool. It's much easier to be soldier than owning a gun. At war both parties know how to behave, i.e. terminate the threat (i.e. kill the enemy).
Owning a gun is much more difficult. Unless you can prove undoubtfully that your life was in real life-threatning danger, better not to pull a gun.
Killing or Disabling a person for a silly reason (e.g. he gave me the finger, or he bumped my car hard!) is no excuse. The consequences are enormus.

A gun is a basically a KILLING tool. It's much easier to be soldier than owning a gun. At war both parties know how to behave, i.e. terminate the threat (i.e. kill the enemy).
Owning a gun is much more difficult. Unless you can prove undoubtfully that your life was in real life-threatning danger, better not to pull a gun.
Killing or Disabling a person for a silly reason (e.g. he gave me the finger, or he bumped my car hard!) is no excuse. The consequences are enormus.

For me owing a gun means this:
1) Know how to use your gun.
2) Know When to use your gun.
3) Live the consequences of your actions.

No one is saying that anyone is going to shoot anyone for bumping or scraping. My whole point is that you should never assume your enemy or fight with him so easily. You get killed like that. Besides, who legally keeps a gun in your car all the time? #1 it's illegal in NJ without a carriers permit, #2 what is your car got broken into and someone killed with that gun later that day? Guess who's house the cops raid later that day?
My whole point, which was missed is NOT to get into the arguement. Even if you have a gun it should be your LAST defense.

Happy CL-S Pilot
Yep! Now no more misalignment. I took my CLS back to Town Fair Tire, they did a FREE alignment (stock rims). I had both left and right toe aligned (I can post the numbers, if needed).
Now back to my 18" setup. The only disadvantage is more "road feeling" (aka steering vibrartions at high speed), in addition to some lower MPG numbers.
On the positive side, they stick like a glue.
Overall, after the 15k service with the fixes for rattles, tranny vibrations, the CLS feels like new

Remember, when the cops show up YOU are a criminal with a gun, be ready to call your lawyer. This advice is from a retired cop so don't crucify me.

Scott, I lived in LA for 23 years before moving back here. It happened a lot and it has actually calmed down for the last few years. You never know who is packing and who isn't. Don't take chances. Arrive Alive as they say in Florida.
this is true

so i'm driving to work traffic is moving at about 75 and all of a sudden this pick up in the lane over doing about 60 comes into my lane. What you don't understand is that my front bumper was already past his rear bumper!! I had to lock them up and tapped is rear end (no damage) and I get on the horn and this dude has the nerve to stick his hand out the window and flick me off!! I try to get next to him but he cuts me off again. Finally i get to the side of him, roll down my window and start letting him know my mind. Traffic is comming to a stop about 100 yards ahead so i get behind him so i won't lose him. I write down the plates and when we come to a stop...this dude opens his door like he's waiting for me to get out...we are on the freeway. So i open mine get out and this dude and I start yelling at each other on the middle of the 605...as i shut my door and am all the way out he gets in and takes off. Well the good news is theres no damage...but i have his plate #'s and am thinking bout turning him in...but think i'll get in trouble since i hit the back of him....what you guys think i should do? I'm just gonna drop it i think.</font>

A cop once told me, Keep your gun in a locked compartment, your ammo in the glovebox and 3 bullets in your pocket at all times.
Sometimes you just dont have time for the glovebox. I am looking into the legality of keeping my firearm in the armrest in my back seat. Technically it locks and so does my glove compartment. When I go down to the PD to fight my illegal turn ticket I'm gonna ask the firearms licenser.

Carry whatever you want. Even if you get a permit to carry, you'll never get a license to fire it. I don't know why you or anyone would even want one of these, my Dad has a permit in Texas (they're just handing them out there in exchange for some cash and a few classes). The problem is if you fire it, it's a whole lifetime of trouble and msiery. Only fire your weapon if it means the difference between standing above ground or lying below ground.
I've had my Glock for many years now but today I have no interest in carrying it or even using it (read: I really would like to live out the rest of my life in relative peace).
