Pretty cool shots of bullets cutting through water droplets. Bunch of other high speed shots in the gallery too. http://www.lex-augusteijn.nl/Gallery/High%20speed/Bullets/slides/IMG_5606-enh2.html
I think this is what they are going to argue and is the basis of the "on" vs "in". Being on a bike with the weapon in plain view isn't concealed in any way. In a car (truck, van,...) the vehicle its self conceals the weapon even if worn openly.
There was an article about this with one of the tire manufacturers (Pirelli maybe) a while back saying basically the same thing. Older tires may have been slick, but modern tires aren't made or mounted the same way anymore and aren't.
Nope. Of course it also depends on the round. Either way it may not have the affect of stopping someone with a single shot especially with adrenaline running. Shot placement and type of round matter before caliber.

Who else would control capitalism? The people that own and control the capital and product (banks and business). For the most part people's influence is only as great as the options presented.
