>>Well, they do free up the hands for proper gun sighting and reloading if necessary........

Reloading?? Won’t your self-driver have a belt-fed turret?

Cars and some vics were found there, deep in PH.

Your friend is correct. It has been invaded by “refugees” from the middle east, latin gangs, and in the winter, the homeless, AKA bums.

That was Miami. Get your gang turf right. They couldn’t figure out why only tourists were being targeted.

At one time all rental vehicle’s in Florida were assigned a specific letter on the license plate. Crooks being crooks, figured the person driving would most likely be a unarmed tourist with large amounts of cash on them. Since the tourists don’t usually exit the highways, the crooks went out on the highway and robbed them there.

Florida, due to “legal” reasons, had to change the policy. Having lived in FL for 10 years, its not hard to pick rental cars out. Like little lost puppies, tourist will venture off the beaten path, then all bets are off.

Made that mistake once coming out of Jacksonville. Followed a friend off the highway to get gas. It was right off the highway. While we where filling up, we were slowly being surrounded. Two things saved us. They knew we were together and we paid at the pump. If either one of us had been alone and had to pay with cash, things would have gone sideways. No doubt.

That's an awfully expensive accessory, not to mention the ammunition that's likely to be fed thru it.........

I’m hoping that I only have to use it on the most stubborn Left Lane Vigilantes.

Some Miami rap group at the time even had a “song” about that. It was called “Z Plates” as I recall.
