You would be in jail today if you had used a gun. On death row if you had killed him. SORRY,but in no way was your life threatened. Car beat up-YES,but that want convience 12 members on a jury that death was justified. You must accurately shoot a pistol at short and long range,with left then right hand before even trying to pass target qualifications for Concealed To Carry Permit. Then take a days class with test,then finger printed with back ground check. If you wrongfully shoot someone, you are in DEEPER trouble if you HAVE this permit. Because the laws were presented to you,then you were tested to make sure you understood when shooting is justified. Test questions 1> What is your first line of Defense? Mase or Pepper spray. 2>Is getting beat up considered life threating! NO WAY.If your getting majorily beat to the point you feel you may die or have lasting disability's,What do you say? (I Retreat). Then shoot if they don't back-off. 3>If you go downstairs and find an intruder in your home, holding your TV set,can you shoot him? NO WAY. Both hands were occupied,so you aren't life threatened. If he sets the TV down or one hand becomes free, SHOOT. I know how your feeling revenge for the motorcycle fool. My own revenge caused the cost of my new front bumper with headlight and I feel good. As to the gun pictured>VERY NICE. I prefer the revolvers with hollow points for shoot and run so that your takening the spent casing(s) with you. Squirrel Crusher
