I did one time when I was a kid and used up my brakes going down long ass windy hill. Scared the shit out of when the pedal wasn’t doing anything. Learned then and there about downshifting, engine braking and luckily a solid ebrake.
This is a bullshit thread with make believe concerns.
Not a fan of open carry… if something were to go down, you’re the first person they’re coming for and you have no time. I’d much rather be quiet and inconspicuous, it could give you much more time to react if/when the need arises.
