    That’s why truck drivers shouldn’t be allowed to have guns.

    I agree and no: I’m not an anti gun nut! But; over the years I’ve had to countless times bang on doors early in the morning to get creative parking job drivers to move so I could get out of my spot and get moving. So; now, I have to be shot at when these people decide to do whatever the heck they want too and those of us just trying to do our jobs out here without inconvenienceing others are put in a position of being lazy inconvenienced by some gun toting nut job who can say; “she was banging on my door and threatening me? “ that’s just what insane

    I’m with you.
    I have guns too and a concealed carry permit.
    But too many unarmed truck drivers are getting killed for confronting another driver and then they let the killer off for self defense.

    Having a gun prevented the assault. The aggressor was using a thermos. Maybe drivers shouldn't have thermos rights...
    Confronting is one thing, he wasn't knocking on the door; he was attacking, smashing windows. Deserved more than just a warning shot, imo.

    He doesn't deserve to be murdered for banging on a truck

    Did you read the article? He was breaking windows out trying to assault the occupant and was stopped with a warning shot. I say the first driver doesn't deserve having his head caved in with a thermos for parking poorly...

    People are getting more and more aggressive, if you damage property I'm in possession of in a attempt to assault me. I'm shooting!!! I don't mess with anyone or attack anyone. It's simple, just because someone indirectly pisses you off, you have no reason to attempt to assault or damage property. Especially in a state like Florida. Learn to control your emotions, check yourself or you will be checked. If you can't act like a mature adult, and feel entitled to put something through a window, you can't control the other driver's reaction. Something I learned years ago, never make someone madder than you are. Because most likely the outcome won't go in your favor.

    I bet it was entertaining watching this a-hole run and duck for cover after his tuff guy stunt when the shot was fired.
