I had my wife and Mother in-law with me, my wife dialed 911 and what a waste of time that was!
By this time I had pulled my weapon and was ready to do what ever was needed and yes I did fear for my life and those that were with me . The operator said don't chase the car to pull over and stop. I wasn't chasing the car but I wasn't going to stop either. These guys were for sure thugs and probably armed so I was ready. They slowed but I did not pass or go up to the car. I believe if I had stopped they would have turned around.
I would have only fired my weapon if he had crashed me or fired upon me. How useless the 911 operator was I guess if I shot the SOB then they would send someone out. I told my wife to just hang up.
If my car had got damaged I would have done my best to run my car right back into him and hopefully stop him. I have been the recipient of a hit and run and left holding the bag so that wasn't going to happen again.
So after claiming you were run off of a 3 lane road into a business' parking lot, you proceeded to draw your firearm and follow the car? Then your wife called 911 and they stated do NOT follow the cars, yet you did anyway. Who is the aggressor in the situation now? Better yet,
are you George Zimmerman?

If I would have shot at the vehicle for deliberately running me off the road would I have been in the right? I did fear for my life and my wife and my Mother in law. I was able to avoid damage to my car but if I had not and was able to crash into his car i would have.
I sure hope surveillance video shows that the other driver intentionally tried to commit serious bodily harm with their vehicle instead of showing an accident occurring. Otherwise, good luck beating aggravated assault/attempted murder charges because you couldn't control your road rage.
