Keeping Cool When Things Get Crazy

Check out the video in this article of a man in South Florida pulling a gun in a road rage incident.  We don't know exactly what precipitated his actions, but the minute Mr. Slane gets out of his car with his gun in-hand, he's escalating the situation and no longer able to claim a shooting was in self-defense.  It appears that Mr. Slane didn't know how close he was to getting shot.  You can hear the man in the truck ask his wife, "Should I shoot him?"  Thankfully, the man in the truck kept his cool and no one got shot.   

This is another good video for us all to watch and think about how we would handle it if it happened to us.  I like that the man in the truck had his gun in his hand and kept it out of sight.  This definitely helped to de-escalate the situation.  Your handgun should be your last option.  Don't start shooting until you have no other choice.
