like i already said earlier.
you flash a gun, someone sees it who has a gun, thinks your going to shoot them, they shoot you, you die.

...
not worth it.
chances are they prob could get outta jail with a good lawyer to.
claim self defense, even though u never actually attacked them, how are they supposed to know u werent gonna shoot?

you are one lucky kid dkfung---you absolutely can get arrested for brandishing (showing) a gun to another motorist as a form of intimidation.

Go do some research on Phila Eagles Coach Andy Reid's Sons....

guns are for pu$$ys

totally agree, it started off funny.
i said drive slow so they cant pass
or
get a turbo and give them a lil bonfire

then it got dumb,
like lets show them paintball guns and pretend to shoot them, point lasers at them, or show them real guns.

you better believe if someone did this to me, the cops would be called and givin a vehicle description, license plate, and location/direction.

just plain stupid, and endangering everyone else on the road.

If you flashed at someone like me and didnt aim, you would be an idiot. Because I only ever think of my firearm under two circumstances:

1) My life is being threatened (aka, you showing off your gun)
2) I am ready to pull the trigger (meaning you not aiming was a BAD idea)

Stop with all the gansta talkin, someone with a good head on their shoulders and a CCW is going to put you in your grave one day. You dont pull a gun just because someone is wanting to race you or to show how tough you are. That is for dumb kids that want to get shot. If you are like that, you dont deserve to own one to begin with, let alone carry one. They are a last resort, period.

^^ Exactly.

I am 100% for the right of people to own them (And for those who are legal and have a license to carry them). But that kind of nonsense is what causes all the issues. People need to be more responsible than that.

IMO it's not worth following or getting back at someone if they are intentionally aggravate you. For instance my homeboi, accidently cut off some dude, and they followed him and stuff until he was stuck in local traffic, than they got out of the car, spat at his car, and wrote signs and ish all over his hood, and started bashing on his mirror, and no one around him did anything, I wasn't there but they were supposedly 2 big dudes,and my homeboy a little tubby boy who I think can't fight haha. It's just not worth it IMO. People get ridiculous road rage, people are insane nowadays, so its better to let it go then proceed.

As far as the flashing highbeams, there are plenty of peeps on here that will agree that the headlights on the tC are aimed a little high and that may be the reason tC drivers get flashed.

As far as the honking goes, the tC is smaller than a lot of cars on the road and you could surprise someone without even trying, and if you drive a darker color ( like me and my FM ) you could get in front of someone and not even get noticed, and when they finally realize that you're in front of them, they usually assume that you had cut them off.

On the gun thing... I wouldn't point a gun at anyone, especially in other states like Texas where it's legal to carry a firearm... I swear - I thnk that's why I don't see as much road rage there...
