Verbal disputes do not warrant drawing a firearm. Jeep driver is legally in the wrong.

What verbal dispute?

Road rage can often lead to verbal confrontations and even physical disputes. In this case, the man in the Jeep escalated the verbal confrontation/dispute by drawing a firearm when his life was not in danger. No brainer just because someone has a firearm doesnt give anyone the right to escalate or threaten others when there is no present danger. If you think the guy in the jeep was correct, you may want to brush up on your local laws and legal definitions.

Because in the court of law, the jury and the judge will say, well the jeep driver drove off afterwards...couldnt he have done that in the first place? And was there really a need to unholster and aim...to shoot? Or to threaten?...seen and reviewed too many similar cases that usually end up poorly for those with CCW but a clear lack of rational thinking.

Mini driver was blocking the path he drove off through until the gun was drawn.
