The Line In the Sand, How I Would Handle A Mass Killing Situation<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One of my old partners had a saying: \u201cThe fastest way to turn a human being into a complete idiot is to put him behind the wheel of a car.\u201d We\u2019ve all seen people do things while driving that caused us to shake our heads and wonder if the driver did, in fact, have a fully functioning brain. (If you haven\u2019t, please tell me where you live; I want to move there.)<\/p>\n<p>The phenomenon we call \u201croad rage\u201d has been around for longer than I\u2019ve been alive. I can remember driving with my dad \u2014 not in a car seat, and probably not even with a seatbelt \u2014 listening to him yelling obscenities (and giving what I would later learn was not a finger you should walk around showing) at some driver who must have broken one of his rules of the road. What can I say? Pop had a temper and wasn\u2019t afraid of expressing his displeasure with other drivers.<\/p>\n<p>At some point, these car-to-car arguments cross the line and become physical confrontations where normally calm individuals beat the crap out of each other \u2014 or worse \u2014 for what one party considers improper use of a motor vehicle. All you have to do is watch the evening news and you\u2019ll come across a story where someone ends up dead as the result of road rage and the other guy gets to spend the rest of his life in prison.<\/p>\n<p>Road rage comes in many different forms. The yelling and finger gestures are like football players fighting: They have all the gear on and nothing happens except a ref throws a flag if they don\u2019t calm down. What concerns me is when hand gestures become a physical attack. I\u2019ve been the victim of road rage a few times, and the worst incident became something more.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_59824\" style=\"width: 371px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/vehicle_001.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"should-i-shoot-ep-9-road-rage\" title=\"Ep. 9 Should I Shoot?

I was in the passenger seat. Hannah was in the back middle all secure in the best kid seat money can buy. The vehicle in front of us was going slowly; I assumed the driver was looking for a parking space in front of some nearby condos. He made about three or four stops and on the last one, my wife pulled out to pass him. When she did, he started to move forward again, so she honked the horn to let him know we were passing. We continued for a few blocks and stopped at a red light.<\/p>\n<p>I saw a vehicle in the side-view mirror approaching and it was closing fast. The car swerved into the oncoming lane and came at our SUV from the driver\u2019s side, stopping inches from the driver\u2019s door. I had no time to exit the vehicle, so I drew my concealed weapon and dove across my wife\u2019s lap, presented my pistol out the window and yelled at the man as he exited his vehicle, \u201cStop or I will shoot!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll never forget the look on his face when he looked down the barrel of my .45-caliber pistol. He froze in place and put his hands up. I told my wife to get going as I held the man at gunpoint. After some evasive driving through the neighborhood, we stopped and called the local sheriff to report what had just happened. Time from start to finish was measured in seconds, not minutes, for me to make an assessment and then act on it.<\/p>\n<p>What would you have done? Have you done a \u201cwhat if?\u201d for this type of event in your head? I hope you do now and figure out some response to this and any other road rage-type incident.<\/p>\n<p>To this day, I have no idea what set that driver off. He was never found, and he certainly didn\u2019t dial 911 to report that someone had just pointed a gun at him. I can say I\u2019m thankful I was carrying concealed that day and didn\u2019t take the day off.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not sure why tempers flare so drastically over perceived indiscretions on the road. When we accidently bump into someone on the sidewalk, we say something like, \u201cSorry. Pardon me,\u201d and we go about our business. This doesn\u2019t seem to be the case in traffic.<\/p>\n<p>What I can say is de-escalation is the best option (or, more simply, the best fight is the one you aren\u2019t in). If you\u2019ve angered another driver, a simple \u201cexcuse me\u201d wave might calm things down. If the wave doesn\u2019t work and he or she won\u2019t let it go, you can slow down and let the driver pull away. Exit and create space.<\/p>\n<p>What if you can\u2019t get away? Call 911. Tell the operator what is happening. Remain calm and do the best you can to create space.<\/p>\n<p>If you are followed and attacked, what\u2019s your plan? There\u2019s a lot to think about, so take some time now to consider what you will do when a simple trip to get groceries or pick up your kids from school turns into a rolling nightmare.<\/p>\n<p><em>For more critical information on the use of deadly force and other firearms and self-defense topics, visit <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscca.com\/GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"should-i-shoot-ep-9-road-rage\" title=\"Ep. 9 Should I Shoot?
