Wewonitall(most) please explain to me how someone carrying a gun and shooting a crazy person trying to beat his way into the vehicle you and your family are in makes you a redneck what would you have done in this mans situation with your family in the car I personally keep a loaded pistol in my vehicle at all times and know I would have emptied the clip into anyone trying to come into a vehicle with my family inside if fighting and trying to protect your family while you are cornered like that makes someone a redneck in your eyes you can be damn sure to label me as one
First off, some periods would be helpful. That hurt to read.
Anyways, I honestly don't know what I would do. If I had a gun in the car my reaction would be to use it. But the point that I've been trying to make is that the pack mentality has already caused this crazy *** motorcyclists to chase a car for 4 miles, wait on it to stop, and proceed to beat their way into the car. Unlike the people that think that blasting the first guys face off would cause the other 49 bikers to scatter like cockroaches, I think that a relatively large percentage of these bikers would be carrying a firearm too. I think that the pack mentality would continue and they would light the 17 out of your vehicle. So now you go from you being nearly beaten to death, which gives you a chance at survival, and your family being unharmed. To you being dead, and you're family very likely being dead too.
Let me reiterate though: if I had a gun in the car with me in that situation, I would have used it. I am aware people act different in the actual situation than over a message board speaking hypothetically.
ETA: I completely skipped over you trying to put words in my mouth. I said that many people on this board have the typical redneck mentality that them and their guns will cause anyone to cower in fear and flee in terror. They try to come off as the cool, calm badass sharpshooter while the other person is a novice who will bug out at the first sign of danger.
