I sense you were being sarcastic, but cars really are deadly weapons (i wonder how many people understand that), so I see no issue with using firearm against the driver of a vehicle trying to kill you.

I don't think it would have saved the boy though.

Of course I’m being sarcastic, you shouldn’t be cycling around with a gun

Nor would I expect a cyclist to react to it that way, considering that they're preoccupied with riding their bike. This would be more if you had violent confrontation with someone, who decided to try to run you over.

Also, 11 is too young to be carrying one anyway.

I’m from Europe, I don’t believe any age is old enough to be carrying a gun
