What a bunch of moronic, dangerous lowlives! They started trouble out of envy. The Z4 guy is not decent by any mean, by pulling a gun instead of calling 911 to report it. But eh, this is America, full of crazy, dangerous morons with guns and violent nature.
Can't say I wouldn't have done the same thing and I tend to be a decent person. From his perspective he had two A-Holes he didn't know following him. By the time the cops actually did something it could've been too late so he decided to teach them a lesson. Guess it was a lesson well learned.

lol i lol'd at it

i showed my friend this and he confirmed this took place near bloomington road in aurora, toronto, ontario, canada. so this vid might be staged. as it's not legal to own a gun at all in canada regardless whether a license is in posession or not. also all cars have daytime running lights on (another canadian thing thing)
I was wondering about that...sounded like they were Canadian or from Minnesota

not even close to true. See: http://www.cfc-cafc.gc.ca/info_for-renseig...heets/r&p_e.asp

That said, it seems staged to me. From the very first comments on the vid, to the behavior at the end by all parties. I don't know why you'd stage it, but neither do I know how to explain the behavior if it was staged lol.

read the link. Canadians can own pistols if they so choose.

perhaps i should've made myself more clear

http://www.cbc.ca/story/canadavotes2006/na...artin-guns.html

"Under the current system, handguns are prohibited but people are allowed to possess a restricted firearm for target practice, target shooting competitions, to form part of a collection or, in rare cases, for employment purposes or to protect your life."

my point is that canadians aren't allowed to walk freely in public with a handgun whether it be in their hand or pocket unless they're a cop or the likes. also unlike the united states, in canada, the definition of 'defending oneself' is far different. we're not allowed to have guns to protect ourselves in case something happens. if someone were to rob my house and i just happened to have a gun and i shot him, i'd most likely be countersued by the victim's family and would have severe repercussions in court.

what the guy did in the video, where he had a gun with him in his car is illegal in canada. and that's most likely why the video is fake. regardless whether or not it's on that firearms list, since he doesn't appear to be a cop, if he has a real gun, it should be either for collection or hunting purposes.

Very funny video, the comments from the "rednecks" were hilariousl

But it's definitely staged.

Say what? That is much different than the U.S. Generally in the U.S., if someone's on your private property and threatening your safety, you'd have the right to defend yourself.
