So that is the new definition of Road Rage? South Florida is suffering a wide-spread epidemic then. Hell, down here you can't drive unless you understand at least 5 cuss words in English, Spanish and Creole!

As I've said before on this forum, statistics can be manipulated to "prove" anything you want.

Who says John Lott is "controversial?"

Nope! In fact if anything I am so laid back when driving while packing that I could care less about someone doing that and I sure don't do it back at them.

To tell you the truth I don't even remember an incident in a year or better where any "road rage" type stuff even happened to me. I have seen a few times where it has happened to others on the road though, one was so bad that the girl had to call the cops and they pulled this guy over.

Before CCW the sky was the limit though, I must have had 7 to 10 road rages a day at least! running people off the road, beating up old people for going to slow on the hwy, 45 mph is the minimum grandma not 44! beating all kids up that drive slammed Honda's just because, mooning people at will, man it was much more fun to drive before I carried!

Yeah... cuz the car moving along at 65 mph on the highway is not a lethal weapon...? I've seen far more people die in motor vehicle crashes then I have ever seen die due to a GSW!!!!

stupid people!

I just found that and thought I'd share

back in the late 1980s I was a bicycle courier in Atlanta..there was a driver who worked for a different company who carried a .357 magnum. He whipped it out in traffic in a "Road Rage" incident and got shot and killed by four gun dealers on their way to a gun show

BS!

I know for a fact that I am more tolerant of the idiot drivers when armed.

Same goes for all the other idiots I encounter on a daily basis.

And of those 23% that had made "rude gestures" in the last year, 100% said "Yes" when asked if they had possesed hands in their cars in the past year as well.

So there ya go folks, I have scientifically proven that people who possess hands are much more prone to violence! So the sooner these --> are the safer us poor wittle will be....
