"TALLAHASSEE, Florida (Reuters) - Senate lawmakers in Florida have voted to ban the fake bull testicles that dangle from the trailer hitches of many trucks and cars throughout the state.

Republican Sen. Cary Baker, a gun shop owner from Eustis, Florida, called the adornments offensive and proposed the ban. Motorists would be fined $60 for displaying the novelty items, which are known by brand names like "Truck Nutz" and resemble the south end of a bull moving north."

That makes me think, if the gun shop guy feels threatened by the fake balls swinging beneath the truck, why not just blow the offending driver's ass away and be done with it ?

I suppose now, I will have to get a real set of balls for my pick-em-up. Sigh, no problemo.

Where do I get 'em?
I'll hang em off the back of my Mercury Grand Marquis!
And I'll paint a nickname on the back of my car too; "Dog Balls."
I want some BIG ones though that hang down to an inch or two of the road surface!  (To "compensate" for my small penis of course!)

That's not what the law says, no matter how many times you say it.

I heard it yesterday morning, and did just what Venaval's doing up there!

We see them around here too, mostly on lifted 4WD pickups.

And what about the companies that make candy holders out of scrotums?  I'm serious, they got these!

That's very funny. Try defending your positions in a Florida court. "Feeling threatened". or, if you prefer,'reasonably feels that their life is in imminent danger', is a subjective state, isn't it ? Ok, we can split hairs on whether someone who has pulled the trigger had a reasonable "cause" to feel threatened. I'd still like to have a front row seat in a Florida court to hear y'all argue that , based on the current law.

Don't suppose for a second that Florida judges (or the USSC) interpret things the way you have.

Nobody is allowed to pull the trigger merely because they 'feel threatened'...your assertion is bogus.. the standard for deadly force is quite clear.
