Based on the video, that cruiser was right behind the unmarked car. And when I say "unmarked," I mean blatantly-obvious-this-is-a-cop car. Anybody who spends a few minutes on a motorcycle realizes how important it is to check their mirrors and I have no doubt that this particular numbnuts knew that he was being tailed by at least one police officer due to his wheelie-gettin' antics. None of this was a surprise; it was the likely outcome.

And just to cover all the bases: acting like a dipshit, breaking the law, etc... isn't something most concealed weapon permit holders do on a regular basis. This is for three reasons: 1: they want to remain anonymous, 2: they don't want to get shot by a cop, 3: many holsters preclude doing cartwheels. It's also illegal for a concealed weapon permit holder to attempt to enforce the law. Their weapon is for self defense (or the defense of others, ha-ha) only.

Comments like this make me think people either don't carry or shouldn't be carrying. A few rounds of Hogan's Alley on Nintendo shows who is the good guy and who is the bad guy in a confrontation. You don't react to the presence of a gun, you react to the person holding it. "Don't shoot the cop!"

Also: You've had armed Joe Citizens confront you over traffic violations? Do tell. My initial thought is, "Them motherfuckers need to get a hobby."

/gun crap in every thread
