    At least he was honest and admitted he did it. They should have let him go.

    Never pull a weapon if you aint gonna use it . Make a verbal threat fine , whip their ### fine . Take a cussing fine . If it escalates to pulling out some heat there only needs to be one story , yours .

    Let a guy go for pulling out a weapon towards someone? Over something as stupid as driving?

    1) NEVER point a gun at someone without shooting them ! Or they will make you wish you had.
    2) if it comes out it goes off

    I have to admit the whole thing seems fairly stupid. I wonder if you could actually shoot into another car both doing 70 mph and have any hopes of hitting them. Anyway I guess I was impressed at least the guy admitted what he did. Most people would deny it.

    Had to school The Hazul on this point. She seemed to think that by simply racking a shotgun all her problems would run away. I told her "No". The number 1 rule is, if it comes out, it's going off.

    He must have been a felon to be charged with carrying a gun. Arkansas is a Constitutional Carry state and anyone who can legally have a gun can carry without a permit,
    That being said, the guy is an idiot.

    So true. Can't argue with that at all. I think Mythbusters did a experiment on that back in the day ? Trying to shoot out if a moving car

    I disagree sir. He ought to be ordered to do anger management counseling, a year's worth. They also should take his toy away. He's being an irresponsible little boy there. His temperament ain't right for trucking. He's going to jail so that's the equivalent to timeout.
