- Wrangle, wrangle, wrangle. And these are only net.lawyers. I
- still say give them the car. Get nailed on weapons violations
- and/or pop some kid (whom you are going to have to prove was not
- just trying to steal your car but acted in such a way as to
- justify your use of lethal force), and you get to spend *lots* of
- time with real lawyers.
