I certainly wasn’t talking about the kind of situation you describe. I think there are cases that the presence of a weapon causes bravado and daring that is unnecessary; if the reporting is accurate, the driver could have just gone about his business and then left.

Perhaps in some individuals, but my experience with CCW holders and veterans is the opposite-- with training you fully realize how powerful guns are and you realize that (unlike the police), you will bear full responsibility for any misuse of a weapon.

Criminal gun training consists of what they see on TV, which explains why a lot of innocent bystanders get killed when they shoot.

Sorry, read that as an across the board comment.
