Realistically, what are you going to do? Pull it out while riding and try and shoot?No difference? I respectfully disagree. The brother said in the interview they watched the truck approach them on two occasions. They made a choice to continue interacting on the road the second time. I have been in that situation on several occasions, I never made it my choice to have a second encounter. As previously mentioned, 4 wheel vehicle versus motorcycle is never a winning deal of the motorcycle. Attempted murder sounds harsh, but is probably an appropriate summation. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating pulling a weapon while riding down the highway. However, it certainly gives one a very different mindset in how to deal with things. They chose poorly.
Sounds like a really good way to escalate and guarantee they try and use their vehicle to defend themselves to me. I just can't see that ever working out well for the motorcycle rider.
Personally, the only way I see it working is if you pull over and stop. If they stop with you, then you get off you bike, pull your weapon and defend yourself.
But..maybe you're just way more proficient at drawing, aiming and hitting a target with one hand while riding a motorcycle than I am.
