Recently, there have been a few high-profile, national news attention receiving “road rage” incidents, and I have seen increased chatter on this topic—from a number of angles—on the “gun” forums. As someone who has been driving for about 28 years, most of which has been in the most heavily traveled corridor in the United States, […]
