HONORABLE MENTION: AIRBAG WEAPONS
Confirmed by Darwin APRIL 1999, SOUTH AFRICA In South Africa carjacking has become popular in recent years. The South African law has lenient provisions for self- defense, and allows "lethal action" if personal property is in danger. Citizens are inventive in creating martial security systems for their cars. Poison gas, acid showers, flame- throwers, and automatic gunfire are not unknown. One such security system relied upon an airbag installed in the car roof. If a driver sat down without disabling the mechanism, the airbag would inflate and hit the victim atop his head with a force strong enough to render him un- conscious. And that is exactly what happened to Pieter, who, armed with a pistol, attempted to steal this vehicle. When the airbag exploded, he thought that someone was shooting at him, and he instinctively fired the pistol twice. Unfortu- nately for him, his gun was still in his pocket at the time. One bullet hit his knee, and the other lodged in the base of his penis. Reference: Der Spiegel

That thief deserves every inch of pain. I've totally had it with car thieves from past experiences and wish I could fit one of those systems to my car. It seems the thief has all the rights these days, you get sued for knocking them to the ground in order to keep them from getting away before the police comes.

Ahhh, Rolla ZE,
You must learn to "adapt" to today's laws. The answer is to carry 2 guns; 1 to shoot the thief with, and 1 to put in the thiefs hand to prove it was self-defense. [ 02-28-2002: Message edited by: Cerek the Barbaric ]
