Farhad wanted the gun for protection in his shop just incase anything were to happen.

Back at Farhad’s shop his wife complains about the door not being to close

Unfortunately, collisions involving large trucks and passenger vehicles are all too common on the roads throughout North Carolina. In fact, the state’s Department of Transportation reported that there were more than 3,400 accidents involving semitrailers in 2013 alone.
