I ride with a loaded gun now!

I am sick of being harassed on the road by idiot drivers, just recently I was almost hit by a driver and I flipped him off as he passed me. The driver and a passenger got out and started harassing me and pushing me around. They finally left and said the next time they see me on the road they will run me over. The police did nothing about it when I reported it.

So now I carry a holstered 357 Magnum snub nose handgun with hollowpoint bullets when I ride. I like to see someone mess with me now !!! Not that I would shoot them, just shoot their back tires and take their keys and cell phones and ride away laughing.

This is one cyclist who is not taking anymore crap.

Mequonman.

On your hip? Shoulder holster? Or maybe an ankle holster . . .

Too cool.

Just don’t say “Bento holster,” OK? That’s a serious loss of style points.

Nice try.

I’m not kidding. It’s a bit heavy though.

I carry it in my Ford Ironman backsack and ride with it on my back, pointed toward traffic, just in case it goes off accidentally.

lol. Nice.

OK…pics of you in your kit with the gun strapped to you as you ride with it.

As a fellow cyclist, I feel your frustration, but I suspect that the police won’t stand idly by if you start shooting out tires.

I don’t carry a gun, because if I did I’d probably use it.

Best of luck though. Let us know how it feels when you pull your piece on someone.

I had a guy that had cut me off and I yelled at pull up beside me at a stoplight and threaten to get out and beat the crap out of me. I was bigger than him and not scared, but I reached in my jersey pocket and pulled out my co2 inflator (the kind with the trigger that you pull once you have the nozzle on the valve) and told him it was mace and that if he even pretended to open the door of his car I’d spray the shit out of him and his wife in the car (their window was down). He called me some names and sped off.

Not sure I’d carry a gun though.

So is your wife happy now that you can bring a loaded gun as well as hot tea to the bedroom?

I plan on not getting caught.

13

But what would you do if the passenger was a guy and they both exited the car? CO2 would not work well.

Good plan as imaginary crimes are practically undetectable and very hard to prosecute.

Think what you want, but this is for real.

16

Ha! I think you just promoted him to Master Criminal.

Do you have a carry permit? Tim

All I know is that I will now have the last laugh as I ride away with their keys and cell phone. It’s either this or take my chances getting the piss beat out of me or killed via roadside.

Extra style points if you’re plotting that while twirling your mustache in a dastardly manner . . .

Yeah, sure you do. As someone who actually does carry a firearm with him frequently on rides, I can tell you a cell phone is much more valuable. Last week I was harassed by someone who had cut me off on a turn. He got out of his truck and blocked my path of travel. Having a .22 in one pocket and a cell phone in the other, I pulled out the cell phone and dialed 911 immediately. I gave them the guy’s plate number as he was driving off. They went to his home and gave him a right good time of it, which was about all I could ask for anyway as there were no other witnesses. Cell phones are much less messy, and no worries about where to dump the body.
