Don't get me started. I do have a story about paintball markers and highway driving.

For the lawyers: I don't condone the use of paintball markers in this way. There, that's taken care of.

An acquaintance of mine (not me!) loves paintball. Alot. Always going. He has a stretch of 2 lane highway he commutes on and every morning catches up to the same guy who won't let him pass (see? Not me. I drive slow now). He'd pull out to pass when it was finally safe, then the other guy would speed up to the point where my acquaintance would have to jam on the brakes and pull behind again. I'm sure you know where this is going.

One day, my acquaintance decides to bring his marker with him in the truck. Loaded, in the pax seat. When he pulled out to pass, he had no problems getting around the offending vehicle, who fortunately had his window up.


It's kind of a feel good story to me.
