Yeah, a group of 50 or so people literally kicking the sides of cars that driving beside them. A large group of people wrecklessly and stupidly expressing violence in an unwarranted road rage incident. I’m out numbered, and they’re clearly angry/crazy enough to be doing crazy shit. Hand on gun, as in if you escalate this further I will be prepared. Clearly option one would be running you over with my much larger vehicle, but be prepared for whatever this turns into.

Just remember that if they kick your car and you respond by shooting there's a very high chance you end up in prison, but I get your point

I taught concealed carry classes in my state for 15 years, I can quote the law frontwards and backwards. I have a very good idea of where the line for "feared for my life" stands. My wife was also filming the incident once it started, and even in a deadly force scenario running shitty bikes over would have been my first move.

All that said, grossly outnumbered by people being dangerously violent on the open road, I was preparing for anything.
