The car also has a tanabe catback
DO NOT get into it with this driver, he DOES carry a gun with him @ all times....not a joke..

Who doesn't cary one? The law encourages citizens that want to protect themselves to carry firearms. Baseball bat, baton, knife = felony. Gun = misdemeanor. Just don't be stupid and go pulling it on every a-hole that pisses you off...lol.

If you carry a baseball bat, make sure to carry a glove and ball too. It classifies the "weapon" as recreation equipment (and could be self defense). Same thing with a golf club (carry more than one club, with a couple golf *****). A little research can get almost anything thrown out in court.

Err, no it doesn't. California is a 'may-issue' state, not a shall issue state for CCW. There you must show good cause, which is hardly an encouragement.
Who doesn't? I don't, because it offers no value to me.

. I thought this was about firearms in cars.... I also tend not to go to areas where being mugged/attacked is likely, I avoid making enemies or associating with the kinds of people who might 'jump me', and if some mugger wants my wallet, he/she can have it. Its only a little bit of money and replaceable stuff.
Bringing a gun into the picture holds no value for me. I wouldn't kill someone over the $40 in my wallet. Would you? You are 100% sure you could evaluate, draw, aim, and fire accurately when you've been jumped (i.e. surprised) by someone who already has their gun out and pointed at you, probably cranked up on meth that the slightest quick movement from you will provoke them to squeeze the trigger? If so, you have some thinking to do.

Exactly. I don't carry a gun because I want to kill someone and I wouldn't use it unless I absolutely have to. It's a deterant though. I can throw down pretty damn well even without a weapon but if it came down to it and I felt threatened to the point I could not defend myself I'd have it out in a nanosecond. If they still want to play after they're staring down the barrel of a 10mm glock then they probably need to die.
