More ft-lbs than 9 or 45 either one!

I guess the truck driver did fix stupid.

I’ve always wanted to wear a sign that said “Not responsible for damaged windshields” while shooting at dump truck windshields.

This befuddles me...If he stopped and got out of his SUV because the truck was behind him how fast was the truck moving. Seems pretty easy to dodge a dang slow moving semi.

Never bring a gun to a dump truck fight.

Law of gross vehicle tonnage, the biggest vehicle wins.

I don't own a gun big enough to drop a dump truck in its tracks.

Minimum to stop a charging dump truck at close range would be an M1 Abrams maybe? I’d rather use a battleship main gun but maybe not point blank.

yea, and easy to get out of the road when you stop traffic but stupid people do stupid shit. If he keeps getting in the way then it is all on him.

I've had 3 instances of dump trucks pulling out in front of me while I'm going 55mph or faster and they aren't going over 10mph withing the last week. I can understand raging at the dump trucks. Being in a company truck GPS tracked to the speed limit, I get at least 1 minor instance of road rage against me every day.

What, you don't have a Colt 1991A1 loaded with 10 megaton, 230 grain, .45 ACP Speer Gold Dot hollowpoints?

You really ought to get one. They're the bomb...

Cool Hand Luke proved you cannot take out a dump truck with a 30.06.

Witnesses said the driver of an SUV was apparently upset with the dump truck driver behind him. He stopped and got out of his vehicle with a gun in his hand.

He was upset with the dump truck driver BEHIND him? Dude, just keep driving and leave him behind!


The SUV driver was taken to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte. The dump truck driver was uninjured, police said.

What, no airbag deployment?

I think he needed an air bag suit.
