Sounds like an incident which happened to an acquaintance of mine, many years ago. We belong to an historical reenactment group, which owns and regularly transports replica weapons and armor. One of his was a copy of a two handed sword; we in the group called it “Stinker.” It was massive, really intended for display only, much too heavy for use.
To get back to the point, a Person A started a road rage incident with my friend as Person B. My friend, wishing to avoid confrontation, left the limited access hiway and drove to the nearest well lighted parking lot. Person A followed, and not only continued to yell at him, but got out of his car brandishing a tire iron. Person B opened the door of his car, and stood behind the open door (hiding himself and … something). Person A approached Person B shouting threats and waving his tire iron. Person B stepped from behind the door and displayed “Stinker”; he did not even raise it to an “En Garde”, just showed himself holding it. Person A stopped, turned around, got back in his car and drove away.
One should not let their mouth write checks their body cannot cash. Holder should remember that.
HAHAHA. One of those russian dash cam videos on Youtube shows a guy dramatically pulling his car in front of the camera car, slamming on the brakes, and getting out with a big stick walking towards the camera car. Suddenly he stops, drops the big stick and backs up as you see the driver of the camera car enter the frame using both hands to point a rather semi-auto pistol at the guy. :)
Watching those videos is one reason I have had a dash cam in my car for a couple of years, and a gun for over a year. Small caliber but a very deadly load. .380
