The only time I would resort to using my concealed weapon in a road rage case is if the other person gets my car into a position where I cannot move and he/she approaches my car. If I can't get away and fear for my life I’m pulling out my weapon.

Also, someone mentioned pulling your weapon and the next thing you know the guy you pull it on is an upstanding citizen on his way to Bible study. I was taught in my CHL class if you pull you ever pull your weapon the first thing you should do after the situation is under control is call 911 and explain what happened and why you felt you should pull your weapon. If not the other guy is going to call 911 and tell a different story about how he don’t know why you showed him your gun.

I know a guy who felt justified to pull his weapon in a road rage case. He no longer has a CHL or lives in Texas. The person he brandished his gun to was an off duty police officer and she called 911 and followed him to his work place where the city PD were waiting for him.

As for road rage in Texas, I am in the DFW area and I don't see much road rage on IH20 or SH360. What I do see is people driving 50 in the left lanes and blocking a lot of traffic. Usually the road rage shows up when 15 or 20 cars are stacked up behind this slow car and someone in the back of the line gets upset and starts weaving in and out of traffic.
