Abramson strikes out!

1 Goggle doesnt give truck driving directions. Google directions through downtown Louisville, and see how many low overpasses are listed.

2 Google wasnt always available, and even for many, still isnt an option, because of the inability to use or access, the internet.

3 Nobody said that ALL trucking incidents are more dangerous than ALL police incidents, but whats more critical, a car losing control in front of a 120,000 pound vehicle on a crowded roadway, or giving a speeding ticket to a mom and her kids in a minivan?

4 Obviously you know nothing about the availability of parking for truckers, as there is a critical national shortage of available parking. No, we do not often have the privilege of staying out of dangerous places.

5 I find it funny that you would claim the knowledge you have, but not know how easy a vehicle can be broken into.

6 you conveniently leave out a couple things. Look at ALL the places you mention in Louisville alone that you consider "dangerous". Now, 1 night alone would reduce the odds greatly, but you work your 40+ hours,(ARMED_ while we may work over 70. You think the concentration and stress factor is any less relevant in traffic? you think the POTENTIAL danger in any area you face is any less dangerous than the POTENTIAL danger we face? As quickly as one of your domestic runs can go wrong, a car can blow a tire, a man shaving or woman putting on makeup while driving, a kid changing a cd or talking on the telephone, and can cause a chain reaction in which we KNOW that innocent lives are at risk over our ability to react to circumstances beyond our control.

Me get over myself? Nah, take your own advice, the WHOLE point of the post I made regarding this originally, the one you responded to with such ignorance of fact, was never to say that either occupation is worse than the other, it was to say that I accept the issues with yours but there is undeniably equally dangerous, and stressful situations in both, and many other occupations. The numbers havent changed in that respect.

What relevance does what kinds of guns I own have to this conversation? Automatically, your response is weak by default. you assume that any question you ask that I choose not to answer, I MUST be lying about? How far would that approach take me in all the RELEVANT questions that you all have refused to answer because you knew the answers put you in a bad light?

Lastly, when cops rode horses, goods were also transported by horses. "Trucking" also preceeds the automobile, and lastly, as to your optional modes of transportation, how many stores that you shop in, have railroads, water docks, or landing strips in them? Google the amount of freight shipped by truck versus ANY other means of shipping, and then you will see how completely ridiculous your point was.

By the way, as to my knowledge of what end the bullet comes out of, I was qualified as expert in the military, and I shot with a broken hand, undiagnosed at the time.
