I was cut off by another car the other day. The lanes changed from 2 to 1 when this guy decided to pass me. He forced me onto the shoulder, at which point I let off the gas and honked my horn. He flipped me off (I guess his horn was broken).

Now here is the most amazing part, I did not draw my firearm and shoot at him. I guess Boxer, the Clintons, the Brady group etc are wrong?

Gunfights in the Wild West only happen at high noon. It must not have been high noon.

You were obviously under the influence of a mind altering substance like moonshine or absinthe (as all gun owners always are), and either were incapable of clearing the holster with your weapon, or did the unthinkable, and simply have forgotten it.

Either way, you're wrong.

I am sure your gun had a momentary lapse of control over your body... perhaps it was like distracted? I am sure your gun really wanted to shoot the guy... really really wanted to and was just simply so mad at the guy that it forgot to control you and force you to shoot at/into him... Perhaps you were carrying an all steel 1911 which is known to be less evil than the plastic hi cap wonder guns? I hear the plastic guns are better able to control the minds of their owners... however... Word on the daily KOS is that AK 47's are supposed to be the best at making you shoot up malls and post offices and churches etc...or that's what I hear anyway...

Rest assured your gun will not rest until it has forced you to commit some form of heinous mayhem....

Or perhaps I am being delusional... or have suddenly been transported into Diane F.'s fantasy world... or perhaps I am being sarcastic...NAW.. I wouldn't do that.....

Better have it on a high mount -- the 105 is about as deadly behind it as in front! Do love the .50 cal. WP marker round, though!

YEah, but it sure clears a path in front and gets rid of tailgaters behind
