Well i am at a stop due to stoplight and i see him get out and then get back in his car as the other car is going around he reaches for a gun raises it as the car goes past and then at me because i was watching everything going on. I was in my big rig and couldnt carry. Because federal offense. Man that is really bothering me. Whats a good way to handle this

Observe and report. Once you see the erratic driving call it in with license plate.

Grab LP # and contact 911. It's deadly conduct among other things.

Wow glad nobody was hurt. What an idiot. Hopefully he won't continue to do such before he does something stupid, or has someone that changes him mind for him.

CDL drivers can carry a firearm in Texas in their trucks.

If he were in front of you pointing a gun, could you legally run him over? Hypothetically


Seems like you should be allowed to.


Glad everybody is ok.

Sec. 9.32. DEADLY FORCE IN DEFENSE OF PERSON.

(a) A person is justified in using deadly force against another if the actor (you) would be justified in using force against the other under (self defense) and when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary to protect the actor against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful deadly force;



Do you think your hypothetical situation fits that part of the law?

Do you think a jury will see your side of the story as they are the determiners of "reasonably believes deadly force is immediately necessary" if you are indicted? Of course the DA or grand jury can make such a decision of lawful self defense based on the investigation and it will never get to a trial.

If the answer to both questions is "yes", you are good to go. The means of deadly force used to protect yourself is not the issue. Shoot, stab, run over, choke, hit with a brick, poke his eyes out with your fingers.......... the circumstances and reasonableness are what determines if self defense is legal.

In my opinion.

Oh yeah, if I am in my car and a guy is in front of me and pointing a gun at me, he is likely to end up looking like a love bug on a windshield.
