But Rat, showing the spear means that you aren’t really winning. You are just silencing your interlocutor by use of argumentum ad baculum. (Yes, literally “to the club”, but it works the same way.) And that is a logical fallacy. You don’t really want to “win” by means of a logical fallacy, do you?
Actually, parking your car on the street, even if it’s not in front of your own house, is perfectly legal as long as there isn’t some posted restriction.

I’m pretty sure one of Rat’s neighbors has a shotgun that will trump that spear.

Cheaper than a lawyer and almost as deadly!

Should have used the spear on the music professor yesterday.

Sadly for my current problem, a spear has little effect on call center flunkies of an impersonal insurance company.

I wouldn’t recommend the spear in South Carolina (and probably FL, TX, and a few others). The concealed carry laws are pretty liberal.

Oh, but Neighbor Bob’s got a bigger button than you, Rat.

He needs his Magic Helmet too.

So the neighbor thinks he owns the street? Or is Rat parking on his lawn?

It will also come in handy for some nice pork souvlaki.

You can park your car in any legal parking space you want.

Is this the first time that Rat is actually in the right??? For once I have to agree with Rat.

Until someone grabs the spear and shows Rat both how to properly hold it to threaten with and how to use it.

A spear is good for a start, Rat. You may have to upgrade to firearms, though. Maybe a “Streetsweeper” shtgun….
