Unless you're prepared to use the weapon to kill everyone who honks their horn at you,it's hardly a deterrent. Carrying it openly simply shows something valuable that a thief may want to steal from you (very unlikely though)and when you're dead and under the wheels of a truck you ain't going to be using a gun.Originally Posted by stevebaby .

I thought to hang my gun behind the seat ( instead of the spare tire bag) so people can clearly see it.
I would like to see how many people would honk, or finger, or fly by close to my elbow?
Anybody with me?
All you are doing is making it more likely that,instead of honking or giving you the finger,someone who bears you some animosity will simply clip you with their vehicle and kill you.Then they can either claim "self-defence" or an accident...and get away with it.
I guarantee that,regardless of the weapon you carry,I could kill you and take it,were I so inclined,and there's absolutely nothing you could do about it.
All the guns in circulation in the US aren't making Americans any safer or any more polite,are they?
Actually the safest places are where guns are the least restricted overall SB. You can keep ignoring the evidence all you want. Gun control has never made anyone safer except for criminals and tyrants whom of course support gun control. Of course we know your job is more secure when there are more victims. You don't want people to be self reliant.
If carried on the road does it make you safer? Not if they hit and kill you but if they hit you and don't kill you and decide to come back and finish the job if you are not seriously injured if armed you at least have the ability to do something. Also they may not choose to hit you they might decide to beat the **** out of the funny looking person in lycra. If they see that the person is armed they will very likely change their minds and leave.
You can say you can quarantee that you could kill somebody but even the best make mistakes and if your victim is armed when you make that mistake it could very well be your last quarantee of anything.
You still have not accepted my offer to take all your guns from Oz and we will send you all our poor misunderstood youths and adults and see what happens.
