Did you shoot them both?

Well a truck pulled up with his lights on us right as the guy was in the road holding my arm at a traffic light. I did not had a CCW at the time and if he just wanted the bike he could have had it. Its my life I care about.

The guy with the pipe didn't get close enough before I took off on the bike, helmet around my arm. He had already almost run one of us off the road. CCW does not mean you shoot everybody that threatens you but don't tell me that people don't get killed everyday by violence. If I can and need to protect myself....I will.

People tell me all the time that I dont need a gun. I went to Virginia Tech. I dont need any one to tell me that the lives of the innocent are not taken away every day by criminals. 2 more students lost their lives at VT this past week. And that is a SAFE town.

yep read about that last week. Sad that they were just out camping when they were killed. I ride the western part of VA and into WV often, never know where the wacko's are.
