Sadly, you don't live in a state that trusts it's citizens.
That’s mostly true if the “teens” are armed with handguns. That’s why I keep my situational awareness towards redline on the gauge and avoid locations where they are likely to congregate. However if I am still in my car, I have a 3,500 pound weapon and will not hesitate to use it should I detect a threat. Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.
