A Fight in Traffic?

Exactly. It's not something to be brandished to threaten someone. It's for self-defense when you are in fear for your life.

I have several friends who are cops. I have hung out with them for years and despite being in some ugly situations (in and outside of cars) not one of them EVER pulled their gun out. (And they always carried --- everywhere) In fact, only on two occasions did they even identify themselves as cops. Flashing a gun takes things to new levels that cops already understand are nothing but serious trouble.

Man, as soon as it starts to get nice outside this stuff happens...I'll walk away as long as my car doesn't get touched or the disrespect doesn't get to a certain level. And I don't know what's up with the dc va md area (and I've been here all my life) but it seems like people here LOVE to try to get into confrontations! I've been in other spots and it's not this bad (except ny or boston). But pulling out a gun is something you can't take back...you NEVER know what you're dealing with until it's too late. Take the ass whuppin' like a man and keep it movin'. But Matrix ya did the right thing for sure.
