Not the case in this instance, but I got into one of my more memorable pissing matches here on the subject of bicyclists and their tendency to ignore rules of the road, such as stop signs...and the insistence at riding two or three abreast, not caring about traffic impeding.
I don't remember which FReeper it was, but one ended up posting that he now "packs" while pedaling, so he can pop off a few rounds at those drivers that dare toot the horn at him.

I have no patience for whackjobs who try to prove their manhood by threatening to kill people, but personally, I think a motorist who honks at a cyclist who is riding legally should be fined a thousand bucks.

I carry sometimes when I ride, but I also ride a lot at night in some fairly remote areas. I can't think of a reasonable scenario where it would be possible to stop, draw, aim and fire at an already passed car.
I got mirror tagged by a car once and even then, there was no opportunity to do anything but yell.
