Obviously that depends upon particular State laws on carrying firearms etc. not to mention the willingness of an individual to risk such a confrontation in the first place, gun or no gun. AND when it's not your own property. Good call, John. FWIW I drive a 2001 Land Rover Discovery 2 TD5. Parts are relatively cheap, as long as I get the time to work on the car. She's fairly reliable so far. My daily commute is just over 5 miles of country roads each way, but no buses. At 27mpg she's not bad for a two and a quarter tonne brick! The added advantage is the odd day when the weather turns really bad 27 mpg is outstanding for an SUV. Land Rover is noted for making good vehicles, and they are highly sought after. It was funny, when I went to Europe this summer I did not see many SUV's as compared to the states. Most cars were like mine or smaller, a lot of big trucks though on the European motorways, more trucks than cars it seemed. I remember once I was flying into Frankfurt and on final we were parallel to the autobahn, with no speed limits. Some of the faster cars were keeping up with us, with some still being able to pass us, going horrendously fast, 140 mph or faster, down the autobahn. I could make them out to be Porsche's mostly.
