Down here in the GUNSHINE state, with all the a**holes on the road there’s a bigger danger of getting in a car wreck, particularly with a drunk or druggie, or some bimbo too preoccupied with texting her BFF about the crazy sex she had the night before than facing the business end of a gun, let alone being shot. When we took the firearms safety courses, and since we’ve been going to the range I realized if driving safety was taken half as seriously as gun safety our insurance premiums would be like chump change.

It happens anywhere; not just in the Sunshine state.
Three weeks ago my wife was in an accident. It was on a long straight section of road. The other driver, coming from the other direction, turned directly in front of her intending to pull into a parking lot.
When the cops got, there they noticed the other driver had very dilated eyes and upon further inspection the found drugs and drug paraphernalia on the front seat of the car. She was charged with DUI and possession of the drugs and needles. They arrested her and took her away in nylon zip ties. It gets better, she was driving a rental car.
We got my wife’s car back from the collision shop yesterday. The car rental company was self insured and even had their own collision shop. They paid for everything and provided a rental vehicle while my wife’s car was being repaired.
