I'm not looking to make any enemies but I have to have my say. I know you said that anger was never an issue. In general if fear caught you by suprise because someone made an illegal lane change....your in some serious trouble. IMO it still borders a form of road rage. Come on....I saw at least a dozen traffic infractions this morning on the way to work at 5 am. I too have gotten upset thinking all the while that everyone should adhere to our nations traffic laws (you know....equal rights for all...yeah right)....and for soo many....they just get away with anything because they either know someone or have the money to get there butts out of a sling. After driving a truck for several years, and then moving into a job that requires I drive a branded vehicle (must keep a polite image to my customers), and riding race bikes and cruisers alike......I've learned to always keep a defensive driving position.....with a 'look the other way' attitude. People will be people. And life has become so multi-tasked that everyone seems in a hurry for the stupidest reasons.

You guys are ALL right.......and you guys are ALL wrong.

There has been many a time I'd like to bust someone up with a tire checker to beat some sense into them. Thats exactly why I quit carring guns unless I head across country. It is my duty to my family to protect myself....they depend on me. But I wont sacrifice that for a possible stretch in prison for something foolish. Man....what would you have done if he provoked or taunted you? Shot him? As I recall...concealled carry means you never brandish your weapon unless you have to use it. Period. No one is suppose to every know that you have one. Hence...concealed. You asked for the bar-b-que by posting that you concidered pulling your weapon. Come on?

I figure its all about patience with fellow man. My patience level has to go up a notch every year it seems.
