Current Events > Hypothetical situation: Would you shoot them?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Say your driving with your windows down and come to a stop light and a group of guys pull up next to you. The group of guys throw a cup of soda inside your car and onto you then drive off laughing.

Say you had a gun because your state is conceal and carry legal. What would you do?

Could you shoot their car? Them?

I imagine you would be seeing red and not thinking critically in this type of situation since you never imagined it would happen.

lmao at this question. could i? absolutely. do i do it? no.

Only if the soda was orange Fanta, because everyone knows thats a nazi soda

No

If you do you're an idiot and shouldn't be carrying if that's what tips you to start blasting rounds at someone.

If you want to retaliate there's other ways than to potentially kill them or some bystander because you got sticky.

I would shoot.....a picture of their license plate with my phone.

yes of course, I would shoot them because as an american it's what I would do. I always shoot things when they cause me problems

I'm pretty sure that escalation would land me in prison.

I take out my rocket lawn chair and send them all sky high!

I probably would not shoot them, but I might throw it back and this could lead to an eventual exchange of fire.

This happened to my brother actually and what he asked me was, "what if I had a gun? Why would they think that was a wise move?"

I had to contain my laughter, but he's right in that regard. If you're seeing red and want to retaliate there is a good chance someone with a gun would shoot at them.

Logic says get their license plate and call the police, but like said, you're seeing red. Your reaction isn't going to be logic.

Why do you generalize this? I wouldn't be so fucking stupid to potentially kill someone while also running my own life over this.

There is no logic in those 1-60 seconds of anger.

The real answer is you wont know til your in that situation

Yes, yes there is.

If you think there isn't you need therapy for impulse control.

Well yeah that person doesn't deserve to carry a gun for sure. I agree with that. I just know there are people that would have shot in that moment out of anger.
