Re: An M3 ate my Q

I once had an uncomfortable confrontation of sorts when stopped behind 
another car at a light.  The car in front of me put his backup lights on, and I 
thought he was going to back into me.  I flashed my brights to let him know I 
was there.  The guy open his door, leaned out and started saying some 
antagonizing-type things.  He turned out to be a hardcore-looking gang 
member type individual.  He continued the tirade and challenge to me as we 
left the intersection, staying alongside my car while yelling out the window.  

My answer to your question, is:

Well, if you have a concealed carry permit, or are carrying openly, 
you're certainly less of a sitting duck.  The goal would of course be to
leave the area, but if you are unable to, you can defend yourself.

But if you're one of those that think the police will save you, and 
only cops and criminals should be able to possess evil firearms, 
then you might be able to call 911 on your cellphone if you have 
one, or maybe send up a flare or something.

Becoming a student of some martial art, perhaps?  But even that 
will only carry you so far.
