I saw a car in the other lane but thought I had time to change lanes. The guy was coming faster than I thought,

That was you? Dude, pay closer attention to other cars on the road next time.

The Road Rage guy is a complete idiot. Unfortunately he does not have any self control and likely has a poor quality of life. No understanding that this kind of reaction can lead to death of others or himself or long term incarceration. What a jackass.

road rage reaction/flipping the bird/tailgating...none of that stuff is worth the risk anymore because there are CRAZIES EVERYWHERE these days.

Im getting the plates without question unless they are paper tags.

Then I find out where homeboy lives.

And wait for a couple of months just to get a good idea of the comings and goings.

Who knows after that.

This is a proper OT response

Call the police and stay on phone

I had a road rage incident at the circle in alex on time. Dude cut me off I honked he got real pissed. At the red light he decided he needed to get out of the car and walk back towards me but I guess Jesus told him that was a bad idea and he turned around got back in his ride and peeled out. Lucky for him because little did he know my 357 was ready to bark 158 grain hydra shoks as soon as need be. Im sure there would have been an article about how he was a good man and was thinking about becoming a doctor.

If I were a cop, and someone told me "this driver brandished a gun at me," and I observed that the person did in fact have a gun in his car, I would consider that good evidence for an aggravated assault charge. Outside of long guns in a gun rack, I don't know what guns other drivers have in their cars, and if I become aware of one it's almost certainly because the owner wanted to make me aware. That in itself is a crime. I suppose there are circumstances where people just sort of accidentally notice guns in other vehicles, but never in my almost 50 years has that happened to me. To your point, though, you have to get on the record making the accusation, and IDK if a mere 911 call suffices. Probably should, but cops are lazy.

I had a coworker who got into a road rage spat with a woman in BR somewhere. He claims he pointed at her with a finger, but she called the cops and accused him of pointing a gun. He was in fact dumb enough to point a gun but who knows what happened. She must have gotten his plates and called the PO. Anyway an officer called him and asked if they could talk about the incident at his home. He said ok. On a whim he decided it was best to put the gun back in the house. The officer showed up and asked about the gun. He eventually showed it to him inside the home. The officer told him that if he had found the gun inside the truck, he would have left in cuffs. So I think you’re absolutely right that it would be evidence of agg assault.
So if your driving with a firearm it would not be ok to brandish it (yes common sense) but also you’re likely to lose the his or her word against mine. Common sense would also be to avoid RR if you are even carrying a weapon in your vehicle, although it’s best avoid it any circumstance (strapped or not).

Finally. Someone gets to the root of the issue.

If this queer would have been driving correctly, none of this would have happened.
