glad you are ok. i went through something similar a few years back. work downtown. was heading into work on 295. work nights but shift starts at 7 so it was around 545-6pm'sh on 295. pre covid times on a friday so traffic was heavy. got into it with some charged up dude and i used to have road rage but i never started stuff, my problem was once someone started stuff i wouldn't let go so he and i got stupid and chased each other on 295 and at one point he pulled his piece out and had me dead to rights. if he fired i was done.

he didn't but i hit the breaks when that happened. he sped off eventually.

crazily enough once i was in the city he and i ran into each other again and i guess he recognized me and my car and we were at a red and instead of waiting he ran the red and disappeared.

that was the last time for me as far as road rage. it helped a lot when i became an uncle. felt like i had/have purpose in my life so i started keeping one of her little plushy type toys i hang in my rearview mirror and anytime something happens i just look at it and remember her and let it go.

If this was a legal firearms owner, he should be arrested, charged and his ccw should be revoked immediately and permanently.

If this firearm was owned illegally, Baltimore needs to bump up the sentencing for illegal firearms ownership. It should be no surprise our gun crimes are as high as they are, when illegal gun ownership is treated as a misdemeanor

I commute to DC three times a week and I've never seen aggressive driving on the way, even with the crazy merging and traffic, it's so weird, even on 495 and GW Parkway. Now driving in and out of Baltimore, I've seen one or two guns waved around.
