You're driving on a four lane divided highway at 45 mph? What was the speed limit? Were you slowing down? Was your right directional signal on?
Is it conceivable that the driver thought you were going to turn in where he was pulling out? Sounds like that was the case.
Now, this black man almost kills you by pulling out, then swerves into your lane, then flips you off, and you've got your 9mm "leetle fren", and you were "content to just sit there fuming in my car without causing an incident"?
Man, we don't have concealed carry, but that happens to me and I'm gonna be all over that guy. Flips me off? Oh brother, call 911 for me or him.
Hard to believe you didn't even give him a dirty look.
LOL, no, it was a normal road with a 45mph speed limit with lots of speed traps. I was just going straight doing the speed limit in the traveling lane as per state law. The guy was pulling out of a parking lot about 1/4mi from the nearest intersection.

I carry a firearm because I believe that is is my Constitutional right to do so and one thing that I can do to make society safer (every legally concealed firearm out there makes everyone else safer, since the bad guys never know which one of their intended victims is armed). I'm actually much less likely to exchange one-fingered salutes or heated words when I am carrying because the last thing I want to do is help provoke a situation in which I have to use it. Carrying a loaded firearm in public is a pretty big responsibility, and I should do my part to avoid hostilities whenever possible. I'm a pretty big guy myself (6'1" and 195lbs), and not to flabby, so had I not been armed, I might have been a bit more vocal and expressive.
