Gun owners / carriers?

Yes it would be a big suprise (sic). I'll be watching out for you the next time I travel in TN.

Can't recall the last (or first) time I got into a confrontation with a Prius but when it happens (if ever), it's likely to be because they were driving too slow (#@^&#* hypermilers!).

 

'Confrontation's with Prius owners?

I have never been in any confrontation concerning my Prius, nor have I seen any confrontations among Prius owners.

I have noticed that gun-racks have largely gone away in today's society. Though I do not think that gun-carriers have lessened any. Around here only CCWs can 'conceal' a firearm in their vehicle, so it is not uncommon to see pistols left on the dashboard in full-view. Since we do allow 'Open Carry' without any permit required.

Carrying brings with it an added responsibility that the person needs to stay out of confrontations. Obviously I am in support of my fellow firearm carriers, but getting into a round of fisticuffs while armed is a poor choice of behavior.

 

While I fully support the right to carry a firearm, I don't agree with pulling it out during a confrontation unless ur life is in danger.........that doesn't mean u can't brandish it hanging off ur hip

 

I have a carry permit here in Pennsylvania. I frequently carry my H&K 40 USP and, yes, I often wonder if anyone would expect a Prius driver to be carrying.

I am also extra careful to avoid BWI g drawn into any potential road rage situations when I'm carrying. In any escalation of force situation, it is the person in a more powerful position that must be more careful.

 

'Brandishing' or 'exhibiting' are often offenses.

 

i carry I have my CCL too. I am about to order me a license plate frame like below, because there are plenty of prius haters in texas. I get tailgated for no reason almost every day.

 

Try doing a search. There are plenty of conservative, gun-toting, I'm a real Amerkin threads in here.

 

Do you drive at the speed limit? If so, that's why you're being tailgated.

 

YES! I drive above speed limit. some a hole will tailgate me for no reason as I stated before. The other lane will be open and they just fly up on me and follow real close. I drive above the speed limit.

 

If you are in the left lane in texas on a state or interstate highway, the left lane is for passing only, its the law. So if you are driving the speed limit and not passing anyone, you should, by law, be driving in the right lanes.

 

wow lets stay on topic and you guys need to read correctly. Did I say anything about left lane. This happens when I am in the right lane!!

 

TN traveler dont worry about that guy. I am guessing this prius forum doesn't have many ccw holders.

 

More than you would think, but advertizing is apt to get your Prius burglarized.

 

I think they are just trying to see what your plate frame says.

Oops. Edit. Make sure you get the frame.

 

burgalize my property and see what happens!!

 

A heavy lead diet

 

Someone who had all the guns in the house stolen?
