Stay calm when driving
A guy in Knoxville was in some sort of traffic dispute. He shot and killed the other person involved and then shot and killed himself. The shooter had a carry permit.
I can imagine getting upset at other drivers. Getting upset enough to shoot one, not so much.

I drive in Massachusetts, and I carry a gun when I’m driving.
I don’t care what the other asshole did, I’ve seen worse.

99% this has nothing to do with driving and zero to do with having a gun permit.
One does not simply decide to shoot people. Unless one is, well, stupid and IQ deficient.

I read things like this and I can’t help but wonder. I carry every day, everywhere permitted by law, and have on occasion gotten into hissy fits with other people, but never ever ever once has it ever crossed my mind that I should shoot someone.

The only time I ever considered capping another driver was a Trucker on I-80 in central Wyoming who twice tried to run me off the road. However, I realized that all I had to do was get off the road and watch him disappear into the distance, which I did. It was all good since I had to knock some bark off a tree anyway. 🙂

Let’s see, of we were the Old Media we’d use the headline;
Concealed Carry Permit Holder Stops Another Perpetrator

The immediate suicide might indicate the person had some problems before getting into the dispute. Pity he could not resolve them before involving another person.

I curse while driving for the same reason I curse when I hit my head, it just makes it feel better. Then a few minutes later, I feel better.
In any case, I blame other drivers on God. He knew they couldn’t drive and he still let them get a driver’s license. Then I accept He did it to teach me patience and tolerance.

Here in Texas we don’t blame bad driving on God. We blame immigrants to Texas.

>> Getting upset enough to shoot one, not so much.
Well, yeah. But if I had already decided to kill myself, I could see also taking the opportunity to thin the asshole herd.
I read a story years ago about a guy who was diagnosed with some fatal disease and went on a rampage, snuffing rude people he encountered.
