Driver flashes handgun at another driver on Lyons highway

[Akyla]

When I read this article, I too thought it seemed to be reversed. Obviously we don't know the entire situation, but its sounds more like a guy had a case of "road rage," approached a car and the guy in the car displayed a gun likely in an attempt to defend himself. Given the few "facts" we have at this point, it appears to me that the "victim" described in the article was actually the aggressor. However, the person that displayed the gun should have immediately called police and reported the situation. By not calling the police, either more happened than what we know, the guy didn't have the gun legally or have a CCW, or all of the above.

I agree with Carl (Bailey Guns), likely enough stupidity on both sides.

I honestly don't know. I've always had my CCW when I've carried in the car. Can anyone else more knowledgeable chime in on this? I'd like to know too.

Colorado law allows one to carry in your car for "Personal protection while traveling."

Correct. No permit required.

Both of these idiots need a serious recalibration of their aggression circuits. Dipshit A should never have got out of the car to confront Dipshit B. Dipshit B should have simply driven away when Dipshit A got out of the car, instead of brandishing a (apparently unchambered, therefore useless) gun.

There ought to be an IQ test to qualify for a driver's license...

definitely dipshits both of them, although if some guy gets out of his car and begins to threaten my family i will be dipshit b if driving away is not an option

Don't worry they will both get anger management class.

I had some psycho from Monument try to pick a fight with us at stoplight cause he couldn't wait behind my wife's car for 2 seconds at the last stoplight for her to shift into 1st gear.

Needless to say he was getting out of his car with gun in hand, wife by then already had her LCP out of the purse and my carry HK already trained on the retard through the window.

The last time I had to point a weapon at someone in self defence was in Iraq, so you can imagine I wasn't too happy about it. He got back into his car and drove off but god damn people are stupid.

[Ah Pook]

All this bruhaha over one side of a playground spat. I'm sure the police got a fair and accurate statement from the poor victim.

you can pull over and ruin your life for ever or simply turn and be done with it and go an about your business

if there is not one in the chamber then what you have is a real fancy rock
