How far would let someone push you before you react?

A pair of wire cutters on a valve stem will slow a semi if it's stopped.
You can send the dollar to cover the cost of the valve stem to the driver's boss.
As far as other situations, the last time I hit somebody, he sat down and I left. The doctor told me later that the bone in my hand probably wouldn't heal well enough to hit anybody again. So I don't really feel like I won, and I know I won't win next time.
I'd rather outsmart the idiots from now on, which leaves me at a distinct dis-advantage.
But when someone almost hits me on my bike, it's attempted murder in my book. I need to quit getting so pist off when it happens, I guess.

With all due respect,you are lucky to be alive...waving a gun at someone ,especially someone in a Semi BEHIND you,isnt the smartest thing to do...I carry (legally) a handgun(s) almost everywhere I go and would NEVER pull one without the intention of using it.....JMPO

I agree 100%, I guess that was kinda my point. The older you get, or more you've been around the block, the more you learn to pick your battles. I just didn't see too many people responding with a "tough guy" attitude. Most agreed with you and I, sometimes it just ain't worth it. So peace, no harm, no foul, my friend.

If you try and kill me I will give you a one finger salute or maybe kick in your door. Depends how close it was.
I don't carry, if you do and pull it, you better shoot to kill and you better not have a ***** little gun, 40 cal or bigger is the only thing I'd have. A 9 mil is just gonna **** some people off.
I'm generally laid back, but try and kill me and all bets are off.

....first you " dont carry"...then you specify "a 40 cal or bigger is all I'd have"....then "a 9 mil is just gonna ****....."....the difference between a 9mm and 40 cal isnt likely noticeable to the target/you...I got news for you pal...a well placed 22 and you are dead meat....I dont care how tough you(think) you are...:>)

I dont know about the one shot but try .22 cal for highest # of handgun deaths..(probably because more people get shot with them...:>)....at least it was when I took my HCP safety course...:>)
