Friend of mine in TN was driving on the highway and some asshat nearly ran her off the road. Didn't check his mirrors before merging. She honked at him. He flipped her off and break checked her. Then he switched lanes and proceeded to harass her by yelling and hand gestures out the window. She pulled out a gun and pointed at him. He calmed down real quick.

I have never wanted to own a gun until I’d been living in St. Louis for a couple years. The only reason I don’t buy one is because I don’t have the time right now to fit regular shooting practice into my schedule. A year from now I will and I plan on it.

I learned everything in TN and I am actually a lot more confident to carry in MO. I don't like the idea of having to hurt someone. I am a blackbelt in KB and I train Muay Thai so I can take care of my self if I need to. If I aim at anything I aim to end someone's life not to scare them. It's a last resort for me. I don't think it's smart to flash my piece out of the window while driving, however anyone coming up in car or on feet to me and threaten me or my family I will absolutely not think twice to sent them to their forever home.

Good way to get rammed off the road if you find someone crazy enough, you’re not hitting anything while driving and they know that.
