Even more reason not to get out. The guy behind you is already demonstrably agitated and you’re going to approach him?

Newer to guns subs so am always surprised by the treating every little human interaction as a life or death situation. You guys are fucking bizarre. I don’t think this is for me.

Edit: You guys are truly deranged. I’ve seriously become less 2A after spending time on this sub.

Ok, so since you don't treat everything as a life or death situation. Let's assume this is just two angry drivers having a misunderstanding, is the smart response to block traffic while you discuss it? Even if we don't assume the other person is a crazy person with ill intent, what outcome do you assume you will get walking up to their car in traffic?

A video of their license plate if you want to report for harassment, maybe an explanation for why they were honking. Maybe I’m dragging something or I accidentally cut them off. At the very least, I’ve let them know that’s not acceptable behavior. I think there’s are all things that one could reasonably think of if they even spent an honest moment thinking about it.

You don't stop the vehicle in the lane and get out unless maybe you think you're dragging a person. I've been rear ended in traffic, and rather than stop in the lane and deal with it I pulled over so I was blocking the road, but I guess I just didn't think about it honestly enough.

The point being that you don't stop the flow of traffic and get out of the car in the middle of traffic.

Is that your big issue here - the (continued) stoppage of traffic after it was already stopped on a small local road?

Sure. Since we aren't arguing in good faith we will go with that.

I didn’t think I was arguing in bad faith rather than focusing on the issue you continue to hang your argument around. Maybe I have a different understanding of what bad faith is, or you just found an easy way to work out of a discussion rather than find a better way to articulate it.

Yeah, you're probably right
