Understood but the point is that if i find myself in an undesireable situation I'm prepared to at least attempt to defend me and mine. A HUGE part of any plan/system to keep yourself safe is to stay away from trouble/bad areas in the first place. As a 40 y/o I don't do the stupid things i did when I was say 20. Also by no means do I think myself invincible just because I have a CWP and I use it on the contrary it makes me more aware of my surroundings and alert and well, careful. |

It takes some time to get suspicious about this stuff and when you do you will want to make a few moves to see what you are thinking is right. It was a Jetta. Quote:

That right there is what I call a "Cowboy mentality" I'm by no means a "Cowboy" a firearm is a self defense tool for law abiding citizens. It's an offensive weapon in the hands of a criminal or a mentally unstable person. |

Some years ago, I had a bunch or young pricks following me in my Camaro in FL and I did the speeding method which wasnt successful; I hold it at 150mph for 10mins and would slow down to 100mph after and the guy was back after. Did that 2-3 times. 4 guys in a Crown Vic. They finally got out in the Daytona area. Probably 4 guys trying to scare me and my girlfriend showing the finger..nothing that scary, but you never know..I was out of my country and pretty much ignorant of what best exit to take to lost him. In my town, that would have been way different..
The best method is to burn a redlight to know if theyre after you, then drive right to a police station...It will work for sure.

Why is that? If I want to carry a weapon that is my right. Hopefully one day you won't need someone that does carry a firearm to save your life.

As others have said I have been followed
by the police more than once. I was stopped 5 times for no front plate. A State Hwhy Patrol followed me for over half hour b4 he pulled me over. I finally had no choice so I put the front plate on and have only been stopped for 5 over but the cop wanted to check out my car. The funny part is I had no DL, did not have my concealed carry license, no proof of insurance but I did have my registration. I told him I just got the car out of storage and was taking it straight home. He asked me to raise the hood and sat in the driver's seat. He ended up taking a pic to show his son! It was a great experience. |

I haven't been followed like that, but if I was, I would call the police. Too many weirdos out there.

I was followed and threatened by a fat short guy in his 40s. Called the cops and filed a report, put my car in storage for the winter. Then got 20% tint in the spring.
Dude never said why he followed me just said, I know what you drive and where you work and will find out where you live. Then he said, I will send my friends after you. Creepy!!!!!!

I have in the past flipped on the interior lights, fumbled around a little, pulled up my cell phone like I am dialing and talking. It sent a message and they turned off.
