Gunfight Rules

All in all, I'd say that was the most desirable outcome, mostly because you didn't need to clean human tissue out of your car -
unless they left some brown stuff on their way out.

Once upon a time, being young and dumb, I got pulled over at a place & time I knew was a cop tourist trap.
Well, sure enough, he wanted to search my truck - they didn't like folks who looked like I did back then.
If I'd said no he could easily have gotten a warrant, so I told him "You can look, but there's a .38 derringer on the dash.
He asked if it was loaded. I replied "Officer, if it wasn't loaded it would just be a fancy rock".
He laughed so hard he had a hard time saying "Go on...and have a nice night...".
