Road Rage Incident on Mopac Ends in Shots Fired
I think Mr Smith is going to lose his permit to carry, and probably will end up convicted of a felony. I hope he didn't have a nice 9mm. It is going to belong to the county now. In some places, LEO's are allowed to buy the confiscated firearms.Sometimes you should take care of business and sometimes not:

How come the other driver wasn't charged? or if he was why wasn't it included in the article?
I did not see a CHL license mentioned in the article in the link, and you do not need a license to carry a pistol in your vehicle in Texas. If he has a CHL, he really didn't learn anything in the class..
..."Smith said he feared for his life and decided to end the situation before he got hurt or the car damaged. Smith drew a 9mm handgun, which he is licensed for in Texas, then fired two rounds at the pick up truck driver. Smith said he was trying to use deadly force against the driver, but ended up hitting the driver's two right tires."
This guy defines a Moron! He not only slept through the CHL class, he can't even hit a target the size of a pickup truck.
Then, the other driver admits to antagonizing Smith because he has ADD. I say lock 'em both up.
There were a couple guys in the Springs a few years back had a similar incident. They were both carrying, ended up shooting it out in the middle of an intersection two blocks from where I lived at the time.
Both DOA.
Here you go, this one happened just a couple days ago, 10 miles north of the one I mentioned earlier. Not exactly road rage, but very similar type incident. This stuff is going on all the time, just in case you don't believe it Willyboy:
Suspect says shooting at Monument Big O Tires was self defense - KWGN
Oh no, it's very similar. That kid used a pistol to break up a fight between his dad and a tire salesman. 7 shots point blank, killed the guy. Rage. You got no business with access to firearms If you are going to resort to deadly force when you get angry.That seems like a totally different case to me,
Like others said, this guy will most likely end up with a felony conviction.
When carrying, the LAST thing you ever want to do is have to discharge your weapon. Take EVERY possible avenue to extricate yourself from the situation before resorting to deadly force. I don't care how much an an A-hole someone is, dead is dead, and you don't want to live with questions like, "Did I really have to kill that guy?".
just wear earplugs. Its not killing someone that bothers you later in life. Its the sounds they make and the stuff they say when they are dying. If you wear earplugs... Your fine.
