Road rage is among one of the dumbest reasons to have a bad day.Interesting video and I only watched it because I know a guy who had something very similar happen to him - IE the guy I know pulling a gun during a road rage situation.
Because of this I looked up original articles about this guy (Bukosky) and interestingly one article reports:
Bukosky told police he thought the other driver was reaching for a gun, so he pointed his own weapon at him and yelled, "No, no, no."
So - initially he tells the cops HE THOUGHT the other guy was reaching for a gun - but then later says he DID in fact see a gun.
Also in the original articles it appears Bukosky may have shown more aggression as it was reported:
Bukosky yelled at the driver, who was using his grandfather's vehicle with Illinois plates, "I'm going to kick your bubblegum to your state."
When the man looked at Bukosky, Bukosky was pointing a black handgun at him, yelling "that's right, don't (expletive) around in a concealed carry state."
I am not going to pass judgement, or take a side but there are some differences between what was originally reported and what he is saying in the video.
I see what I call "road rage bumper-pool" occurring every damned day on the highways….Road rage is among one of the dumbest reasons to have a bad day.
Now assuming this is the "rest of the story" so to speak I will not be feeling sorry for the guy. Going to draw a gun on someone best make damn sure you can control your emotions. If not don't even carry.Interesting video and I only watched it because I know a guy who had something very similar happen to him - IE the guy I know pulling a gun during a road rage situation.

For years I was leaving one job to head to another on the other side of the county at rush hour. I got used to it but still was often surprised I did not see at least one wreck every damn day. Had Wife with me one morning as I was making the drive and she was FREAKING out. I said its like this every damn weekday out here, you just don't normally see it. When one of these bozo's starts waving a gun? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.I see what I call "road rage bumper-pool" occurring every damned day on the highways….
The subterfuge is getting more elaborate to convince people to disarm themselves, I'll give you credit for that.I retired my side arm and got rid of my CHL. I'm getting too old to risk prison. Guns are useless to me. I have all these guns and for what. For nothing. Waste of money. All hyped up over some right I never had. I'm embarrassed how stupid I was years ago. I was really into guns and was proud to carry. Now I could care less. I laugh at people who are still in the bubble. They really think they still have the right to defend themselves. One look around the country says otherwise. Good people go to prison everyday for justified use of force. I'm not going to end up like them. I'm disgusted in America and in Republicans voting for tougher laws against gun crimes. If it's not justified you will get life or 25 at the least. This once great nation is a sick joke as is the state of Oregon and Washington
Other than your newfound disdain towards the 2nd Amendment, which other parts of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights have you forsaken?I retired my side arm and got rid of my CHL.

What changed for you to reverse your interest in guns to now embarrassment ?I'm embarrassed how stupid I was years ago. I was really into guns and was proud to carry.
Based on recent posts, it appears to be an extended delay on a BGC.What changed for you to reverse your interest in guns to now embarrassment ?
It almost seems like something dramatically happened in your life to cause the change, as what you describe seems like a radical departure.
After all those years have you ever looked up how many DGUs happen annually?I retired my side arm and got rid of my CHL. I'm getting too old to risk prison. Guns are useless to me.
