Somebody cut me off in traffic and I just backed off to give him more clearance. Before I could stop him my high-strung New Yorker passenger reached over and hit my horn and yelled at the guy. Then he said, “How can you be so calm and polite to an *sshole like that?” I said, “I never engage in tit-for-tat road rage. I’m carrying a gun. Legal or not it’s possible he has one too. The situation could elevate in moments to something I’d have to live with. It’s much easier to realize that maybe he didn’t mean the stupid driving as a message. I know I’ve accidently cut people off because I had no idea they were there. Maybe he did too.”

So, some of us are more polite than without the gun, though I never yelled at anybody on the road. On the other and some people are hyper aggressive. But I think once everybody is carrying a gun the hyper aggressive guys will suddently calm way down.

Then, to drive home your point, you shot the New Yorker, RIGHT? LOL!

I’m with you. I give cRaZy@sS drivers a WIDE berth!
