Did he "jump the gun"?

[ItBeMe]

Well the guy could have been a good sissy bitch Lib and called 911 and hid under a desk and cried for his mommy.
Or be a real man and go out there and blow his ass away.

If he had used these Guns, the Perp would have stopped in his tracks and said cuff me please!

**** !
I want to be cuffed, and I wasn't trying to get into anything ... YET !

No doubt! If it was my car, I would have unlocked via the key phob and let him take it.

Of course my car is 10yrs old and looks/smells like a hobo anyways...

I like the cut of your jib!

My car is 21 years old and has over 250K.. My previous one had 300k before I sold it for 400 bucks.

I love old beaters! I don't have to worry about washing/waxing or any of that fancy lad jibba jabba. For me, driving a POS is liberating....

I have friends who think I am nuts for driving beaters. Each one of them probably blows around 500 bucks a month to drive around. I don't.

I paid off my last car payment about 15 years ago-and swore I'd never have another. Modern cars are well engineered. You can easily get 20 years out of one!

These days, when I fill my tank, the car's value doubles.

No doubt! I grew up with a father that would bring home a brand new car and spend hours detailing it. It was actually cleaner when he got done. I was the same way for many years. Countless hours and dollars spent on something that gets dirty 5 miles later. Liberating is definitely the feeling these days! My brother won't even ride in my car.

These days, when I fill my tank, the car's value doubles.

When what you carry on your hip has more value than what you drive around in, you've got your priorities straight.

Finally !
Something we both agree on 100% !
Present truck is 12 years old, and still runs great.
Previous truck was 19 Y.O. when I gave it to my best friend, and he drove it another 2 Years, before a Deer surprised him and destroyed the front end with A.C and Radiator damage, and, before the wreck, it still had better mileage (19 MPG) than most anything else on the road.
Had one Ford truck, one Dodge truck, very early in life, and all the rest have been GM or Chevy, 50 years worth.

(And guess who doesn't need turtle wax no mo?!)

Hell yeah!

I just love a beater!

As long as its safe, I don't care about much else.

My Saturn took a direct hit to the radiator one day to work. Biggest raccoon I have ever seen ran across the road and inflicted a nice bow to the radiator..... I kept on trucking and when my trip was done, I came back to the lot with a couple of bottles of water (expecting the radiator to be leaking.) Wasn't missing a drop. That was ten years ago-and that radiator still looks funky, but still ain't leaking a drop!

Everyone's different. I have friends who are car guys-and they enjoy keeping their cars very nice. I'm not here to judge, but that just ain't something that gives me pleasure. I love my beater-and it loves me! I especially love no car payments, cheaper insurance, and a tag fee of like $35 a year.

I have also learned to work on a lot of stuff on that car. Pretty much anything I don't need a lift for, I can fix. A beater + YouTube = Mad shop savings!

I trade guns much like guns, bikes, hell like everything except my wife.
So I keep my stuff fairly nice in case I need to trade.

"Stand your ground" only applies to self defense. This started off as defeating a forcible felony which then turned in to a self defense situation.

Since when was theft of a motor vehicle a forcible felony? Apparently I am not up to speed on this subject because I thought that in order for a felony to be considered "forcible", there has to be a threat of physical danger to oneself. I didn't see that in the video.
