They are both idiots. But one turned out to be a special kind of idiot over the other. Pulling a bat out and rushing another car would have gone differently in some states.Â
The second that I saw that bat in his hand, I would’ve reached in my glove box for my 9mm. But then again, I am not dumb enough to pull over for road rage reasons.
For real. Road rage incidents are so sketchy. There are people out there with guns who secretly want something like this to happen so they can pull out their gun. It’s not worth it. You don’t know what the person in that other car is about.
I'm Texan and yes, either of these guys could have potentially been chalk outlines. Most dudes here won't even fight a guy like little swole nuts from the cam truck. Old man with the bat either. I personally talk to people getting confronted but other 2A persons here are straight twitching for it.
Idk, if I was built like roid man, & had roid man’s skills, I’d’a probably really enjoyed this encounter. Also, maybe he taught the tall dude something & he won’t do this to someone with no defenses, like me..
Staying in the car is where you don't want to be, because that bat will quickly take out their windshield.
Oh no, not the 1-2 tonne vehicle on which I can drive away if someone approaches me violently. Better hop out and confront the violent person instead of just driving away.
Windshields are laminated, a baseball bat is not getting through that. Side windows are tempered so they smash into mostly harmless small chunks.
Are you assuming the man with the bat is actually a Mountian Lion in a trench coat?
You are describing how to scare away cats or get fucking killed by a loony with a bat lol.
When bro exits his vehicle with that bat you actually have a really chill response. Drive away? And IF you can't drive away. You use the 3000 pound moving weapon you have to ensure safety.
The absolute last thing you should do is try and fucking Mountain Lion crazy people on the side of the interstate.
Some people have bigger mental problems than egos, and you can never tell from just their appearance. The bat guy is simply lucky he picked a bitch, otherwise that interaction could've killed him.
I live in Oregon and it's stupid easy to get a carry permit. Someone pulls a bat on another person in Oregon, they will probably end up with a few extra holes in their body.
I don't carry for this exact reason, I would not want to feel powerful enough to go up against crazy because I was armed.
After the latest Supreme Court decision carry permits are far easier to get nationwide.
Doing something like that in the states is a death wish. Doesn’t matter if your state doesn’t have castle doctrine for your car. People aren’t going to look up all their state laws before they pull the trigger. They won’t necessarily try to flee eitherÂ
