We had two cases of road rage two days ago. One person got out of his car and walked toward the other car - showed his legal carry gun but pointed it at the ground - then got back in his car and drove away. The other (also legal carry) pointed it briefly at the other driver from inside his car. Both were tracked down and arrested and all their guns conficated.
There are two things that bother me here.
If what happened happened (and it was one person's word) - and it happened to me - especially the one where the guy got out of his car and walked toward me with the gun drawn - there is a good chance I would have shot the guy even though it may have been a scare tactic on his part.
The same with the second guy who pointed the gun at the other driver to scare them. If I was the other driver I may have shot the other guy also. Hope that decision is something I never have to make.
The next thing that bothers me is the state police took the word of the a signal person in both cases that was enough to get them arrested and guns conficated. Both will probably lose all chances of getting a carry permit or buying a gun in the future.
What is some anti-gun nut could tell I was carrying. All he would have to do is call 911 on his cell and tell the police I drew and/or displayed the gun in a threatening matter. I would never be able to disprove it and judging how the police handled the above the result would probably be the same for me.
Something to think about.
Cuteo100 I didn't know Schumer has an unrestricted carry permit. Talk about a hypocrit.
