In case someone is frustrated with traffic on the way to work so you have no choice but to personally murder them?

I ride a 6000$ bike. In places where gangs have robbed bikers at gun point. I have also had people try and crash into me with their cars to be dicks about giving space to a bike on the same road. If anyone is going to try and harm me or rob me. I’d like to be prepared legally.

Insurance affordable for the bike? Imagining you succeed fending off a couple gang members but one pulling up the rear unseen executes you or something.

Prob cuz I watched a video where a hero tried to take out a shooter in a grocery store but a second one snuck up behind him, tragic. Stuck with me, now I’m locked in “be a little wimp, give up everything, try to survive” mode (of course the world might not be a perfect place if everyone were like that)
