The incident itself raises some interesting questions. First of all, the officer here comes off as an impulsive thug, not the image we should expect of our law enforcement officers. Second, as a concealed pistol license holder, I would probably interpret this officers actions as those of a car jacker or road raging murderer. If this happened to me or someone else who was carrying, it might have resulted in the officer and/or the motorist being shot. Not wise, officer.

I agree with them that I would have no clue that was a cop coming at me with a gun, but even if I was carrying, I wouldn’t try to pull my weapon out, as I’d already be sitting on a thousand pound vehicle that would be able to get away or run over the creep with the pistol.
