the only gun that i carry when I ride shoots 10 cc’s of man mustard baby… all you need is those salmon spunk lights and a good frame pump and you can Rodney King any motorist that needs it.

For what it’s worth, PistolPete is right. There are numerous criminal charges (including potential Federal felony charges) and harsh consequences for folks foolish who dischage firearms inside city limits. It only gets worse if there are other people nearby, and worse still if any of them are affluent. And that’s if you don’t actually hit anybody. Given the current law enforcement bias for motorists and against cyclists (e.g., “cyclist killed, driver not cited”), you should expect exactly zero sympathy from a prosecutor should you shoot out somebody’s livingroom window with kid’s nearby, cuz you got mad when the guy you flipped off ran you into the bushes on your bike. If you don’t like being bullied by drivers, you probably won’t like prison either. And even if you don’t land in prison, it’s pretty assured the prosecutor will find a way to take your gun rights away. I say this having represented several people in court who learned this stuff the hard way. None of them were on bikes, though.

Not to mention the article is over 3 years old. Did anyone else see the linkt to the article on Dr. Frankenstein’s poll numbers?

I have found it’s much better to carry my .50 magnum revolver in a holster on my left side. That way the rednecks avoid me in the first place.

And if I have to fire it, I can just shoot the ground and the huge fireball coming out of the barrel is more than enough to scare them off.

I didn’t catch that the article was from the Onion at first.

I sat there thinking:

“Since when does BSNYC have time to post anywhere other than his own blog? Is this his weekend gig?”

I’m still wondering about it. :) His posts HAVE been running late as of late. Maybe he IS writing for the Onion now and again.

Oh, and nods to Ray. Awesome! LOL!

…it kinda got suspect when he talked of “removing” four spokes per wheel, rather buying a new wheelset…

…if yer really gonna carry a piece on yer rides, maybe it should be a heavy old 45 cal. army colt….might make you realize yer actions before you decide to ‘up the ante’…

…lotta big talk & tough guy posturing on this site at times, but like pistolpete sez, even if ya use it in self-defense & it goes bad in court, you’re gonna kiss a life of relative freedom goodbye…

Try a Brazillian-made titanium Taurus. My father has one and it’s very nice.

Awesome article…
But read this excerpt on the outsourcing bit on the same page.
Oh, and tech novice, so I can’t embed crap, ‘cept maybe your girlfriend…

After vigorously defending corporate outsourcing that has sent more than one million American jobs to other countries in the last two years and after his latest idea of outsourcing the management of six vital American ports to Arab-based Dubai Ports World, President Bush yesterday learned the true meaning of outsourcing.
A little known group of corporate leaders, formed near the end of the Clinton administration to handle the inexperienced George Bush, has over the last six years become a major force in Washington. This private think tank, Corporate Reconsideration of American Policy, in a closed-door session yesterday heard a report from its subcommittee on executive leadership (EL). According to a White House source, President Bush spent more than six hours talking with his father after the report’s findings and recommendations were read to him.

Due to President Bush’s “flagrant disregard for the financial impact his policies are having on the nation and on the world,” the EL report recommends that “activities of the Office of the President should be outsourced immediately.” Particularly telling was an included survey of corporate leaders about President Bush. A total of 92.7 percent reported they would not hire President Bush for any position within their companies. If forced to have him as a corporate employee, 96.4 percent said that position would be outsourced as soon as possible.
