How do we know the LTC-holder actually did that? Maybe the other vehicle really did cut him off and almost cause him to crash. Maybe he shook his fist at them or made a foul gesture they found offensive. Saying it's a "man with a gun" is almost a no-brainer in Texas because so many people are armed, and it's an easy way to get someone in trouble. I've seen a lot of people drive pretty dangerously on packed highways, as I'm sure you have, too.

Then again, maybe he did do it...but it's really one word against the other, unless there is video or photographic evidence.

BTW, I'm not condoning bad or dangerous behavior; just proposing the other side of things. LTCers gave the lowest incidence of crimes in our state, when taken as a group.

I sounds like the LTC was open carrying so it would be very easy for someone to state that he pointed the gun at someone. Getting out of his vesicle wasn't a good idea.

If the LTC holder was cut off in traffic, what was he hoping to accomplish, by stopping and getting out of his vehicle? Sounds to me like no one was engaging their brains. JMHO

Absolutely agree.
It can happen to any of us on a nice OC day. People lie. It is very common nowadays. And libtards love to lie about guns to get us "armed criminals" all jailed and guns banned, get used to it.

If this happens to any of us and someone lies that we threatened them with deadly force, do we have any recourse? Is there any legal action one can take against such liar? Manufacturing events that did not transpire is one thing but lying to a LEO about deadly force is much more serious. Anything one can do about it?

Maybe this guy admitted it or something. There has to be more to the story.
