Tukwila, WA - Drivers trade shots in road-rage fight, 1 hospitalized

In that case I would have held my pistol but at waist level. If fired at (and not doa) I would have returned fire.. Otherwise I would have backed down (and given enough time) tried to record him via phone and just let the person yell at me and wave his pistol around acting like a tough guy and immediately after I would have called the police. Ive watched a friend go through the court system when he had a wreckless endangerment and assault with a deadly weapon thrown at him by the state. Damn near bankrupted him.

Its hard to say what one would do.. If I had a man pointing a firearm right at my face and had my woman or kids in the vehicle Id sure as hell reverse as hard/fast as I could so if he did fire it would be towards me and not the kids in the back.

If we couldn't talk our way out and he kept pointing his pistol at me after I dialed 911 then yeah.. I think I would have fired. Its my life and I would have felt threatened, end of story.
Just because you get a little pissed off while driving doesn't mean you can pull a firearm on someone its a threat on the other persons life, period... Even if he mistakenly cut you off or didn't let you into his merging lane. Not worth it.

I run into more road ragers than most would care to with my business as a technician.
I let them have their way and possibly trade hand gestures and if need be report them.

Thats really all one can do. That and hope they wrap themselves around a telephone pole.
I do on occasion yell "you're going to get someone killed driving like that!" But usually only when I can get within earshot.

Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but generally they support ideas such as free and fair elections, civil rights, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, free trade, and private property. Could you please tell what's bad about this type of worldview?

Well Dwaine,

I'm pretty sure you could describe what conservatives stand for in a similar way but with one addition, "free and fair elections, civil rights, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, free trade, and private property," and they have a job.

Once upon a time, 2 fools met and shot at each other, because they can't control their tempers.

On the surface, this sounds like it was completely preventable, by both parties.

What would you do if you were on the side of the road and some stranger knocks on your car window with a pistol while in a rage?

You have that 100% dead on.
Liberalism is a free for all nation destroyer.
Liberal and progressive is the same thing. There is a big difference in liberal and libertarian. Liberals have one foot in the communist marxist pot and the other in the socialist pot. 2/3 of them dont even comprehend that.

I saw this today and thought it was close to dead on,, thought I would share.
If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!

If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Democrats demand that those they don't like be shut down.

If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.

If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.

If a Republican reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A Democrat will delete it because he's "offended".

edit::.. I am neither republican or democrat.....parallax....

You can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig. I've seen what liberalism is by watching millions of liberals (by their own words) take joy in destroying our country. Liberalism truly is a mental disorder.

Maybe you should read a history book. It was liberal views that lead to breaking away from Britain.American Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sorry that I have mental disorder that thinks all people should have the same rights no matter what color they are. Sorry that I think kids should learn real science and not that a Jewish god created the earth six thousand years ago.

Dwaine,

Did you just quote Wikipedia as an expert source?

Don't feel bad that liberalism is a mental disorder and that you're a liberal. Heck, you might even be Secretary of State some day or maybe the President. In this great country, it can happen. So keep studying that Wikipedia and your real science. How's Al Gore doing on that real science global warming stuff anyway? I heard he's made a boat load of money shoveling his ...theories.
