Doesn't matter how tough you are, if you are packing a gun or not. There are no winning moves in tangling with them.

If the guy in the beater sideswipes your car, what would you do?

Punch him = go to jail + law suit.

Shoot him = go to jail (maybe also get shot) + law suit.

Call 911 = accident record, loss of value of the car, + law suit, hassle to deal with.

The only winning move is to put as much distance as possible between you and the loser/crazy/POS-human as fast as possible.

Things need to get a lot worse, before we regain the right to defend our rights and property from the scum of society.



P.S. Same concept if you own a store and someone grabs merchandise and walks out. You need to train yourself and your employees to ....... LET IT GO. (don't risk the headline: rich, greedy store owner, chases poor minority teenager for a pair of Nikes, causing teenager to trip and break his head...). After it gets a lot worse, you may get again the right to do anything about it.
