We've already established that the single most important driving accessory in Chechnya is the AK-47. Watch this band of hoodlums fire guns in the air while doing donuts in the middle of an afternoon in Grozny from the window of their BWM M5. Chechens are insane. More »

I usually love me some FPS games but there's something off putting about fake shooting up the real world in Google Maps Street View with an assault rifle. Try it out yourself, put a location Pool Worldwide and start shooting fake real people and things in Google Maps. Is it weird for you? More »

The road from Nascar driver to backwoods criminal's been a short one for Jeremy Mayfield, culminating in his arrest for possession of stolen goods, methamphetamine, and a small arsenal last night in Catawba, North Carolina. More »

The North African theater was every bit as savage and deadly as its better-known European and Pacific cousins during World War 2, with the added exposure to the Sun and dust storms for good measure. These pictures tell that story. More »

Missouri car dealer Max Motors has upped the ante in its longstanding free-gun-with-purchase promotion, offering a .50 caliber sniper rifle to anyone who buys a Dodge Viper. The next step? Air vents laced with powdered Viagra. (Thanks mike4700!) [Max Motors] More »

Jim Lynch Hummer in Chesterfield, MO is now stocking rifles, handguns, shotguns and ammunition in order to compensate for income lost to the fuel crisis. "A lot of... Hummer owners were gun owners already," Lynch said. Do tell! [Freep] More »

It's not too much of a surprise to hear that this car dealership in Missouri is offering a free gun with the purchase of a car. It's also fairly common these days for dealers to lure customers in with gimmicky offers of free stuff or cheap gas. But there's just something about the combination of both incentives under one roof that gives us a warm moist feeling of hope for an America where all car dealers everywhere will sucker-in fearful consumers to showrooms, regardless of which mainstream media-induced panic the customer suffers from.

The prospect of a car jacking is not a very pleasant one. What better way to protect yourself from that occurrence than to stash a positively ridiculous revolver in the car? The Taurus Judge is a weapon "specifically designed for use in the vehicle" and capable of chambering both .45 Colt or .410 shotgun shells. The rifled barrel of the Judge is designed to disperse buck or bird shot rounds as quickly as possible in an effort to dissuade potential thieves from pilfering your automobile. In other words, it'll blow a big-ass hole in somebody at a really short range. [Taurus USA] More »

We haven't checked the stats, but somehow we doubt that Anchorage is exactly East Oakland with snow. Although we once had some adventures with snow in East Oakland — but that's neither here nor there and a long time ago. Regardless, some people are alarmed with the increasing rate of drive-by-type violence in Alaska's largest city. And in ways, we have to agree. We think the wild-frontierness of Alaska is pretty cool, but there's really no reason to drive around capping people. Actually, there's no good reason to drive around capping people in general. Unless, of course, you're Dick Cheney. But then you just do it on foot. Dickie, grab your gun and get up there. There's oil under that thar tundra! More »

If you're 19 years old and you're packin a .38 and you have some weed on you, what's the most natural thing in the world to do? Go take pictures of police cars with your cell phone whilst they're parked at the station. Officers in Manchester, CT, noticed William Davis acting supiciously, snapping pictures of their license plates. Upon confronting him, they found the gun and the herb. Cry for help, much? More »

Be forewarned, y'all who're gonna try to sue the insurance company of the guy who blasted through your plaster 'n' drywall like Charles Whitman rockin' it at near-point-blank after you pissed him off in traffic: an Arkansas court has ruled that gunfire can't be considered a car accident, even if it's levied from a vehicle, as it was in this case. Our take? All involved? Assholes. [Thanks to The Comedian for the tip.] More »

Now we like to go shootin' as much as the next red-blooded American, and now and then we have a tendency to flip someone off on the road when they do something dumb. But according to a new study by Harvard School of Public Health people who carry guns in their vehicles are apparently more prone to acts of road rage. So watch out for that angry man chasing you down the freeway after he lets the bird fly. He could be packin'. More »

Make a post about cars and guns in Utah and strike news gold the next day, that's what we always say! A Colorado couple traveling on I-15 and I-70 in the Beehive State inexplicably broke out the firearms and began shooting out the windows of fellow motorists. Their violently mischievous luck held until they came upon a cell phone-wielding, justice-obsessed driver in a Chevy Tahoe who not only alerted the po-po, but gave chase to the gun-brandishing culprits. The Utah Highway Patrol quickly got involved and the perps were apprehended and booked into Silver County Jail on charges of aggravated assault. More »
]]> http://jalopnik.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=137437&view=rss&microfeed=true Given the state's high Mormon population and weak beer, Utah probably worries less about loaded drivers than many other states. But the latest argument in the state with the self-proclaimed "greatest snow on Earth" revolves around loaded guns in cars. While 60,000 Utahns legally carry loaded guns in their vehicles by virtue of having qualified for concealed-carry permits, right-to-arm-bears bear-arms activists are pushing for all of the state's citizens to be able to legally carry loaded guns in their vehicles.
