How would it look in court if you or a member of your family had to shoot this guy?
You further escalated the situation by flipping the bird. That's not a good idea, ever. Shit, I don't even honk my horn at a dumbass driver, because God knows I don't want to have to shoot anybody over stupid traffic shit.
Be thankful that everyone left alive, and remember that firearms were not designed to resolve traffic disputes.

Neither one of us, or anyone on this thread have said that giving him the bird was a good idea.
A guy almost hits us in his truck, purposely swerves close to us, blows his horn in our face, and then swerves back in front of us. We gave him the bird. It was stupid, but you can't say he couldn't expect it.
How would it look in court if someone in my family had to shoot him? How would it look if he attacked us first? None of us are stupid enough to start anything. The only way my dad would have got out the Glock is if the guy got out a gun himself. None of us suggested we'd use a gun first, anyway. This guy was crazy. He was going to attack us in the next few moments if my dad hadn't pulled up.
I don't have to "remember that firearms are not designed to resolve traffic disputes" because none of us suggested that. If the guy got out a gun, it's no longer a traffic dispute, it's a life dispute. If he got out a gun, I'd get out one if I had it. Again, none of us said we were gonna pull a gun in the first place.
PS: these young punkasses may be immature enough to flip a bird, but he deserved it, and at least we aren't 40 years old and go chasing young adults because of road rage.
