Dirtbags are usually going to die young dirtbags. You should have NOT let them follow you home. You should have pulled into the closest police station parking lot. Let them start some shit with you there, your odds are much better...

Well there you go. You're sitting here victorious with a future in front of you and a relatively small incident behind you. They're back at their crap-filled ghetto apartments thinking about how much they suck while continuously playing tough and taking their anger out on whatever is convenient. You still win. Have a beer and be happy.

No I am a big guy. Just some dead beats trying to get the best of me. I am fucking pissed. I have so much to lose and they have nothing. It would have made my year to beat his face in in front of the car full of people.
I hate ignorant people.

Well the common factor seems to be YOU. Millions of people drive home from work every day without annoying anyone on the road. Why don't you just admit you were tired and grumpy after work and tailgating? And you probably do this more often than you realize, if you find yourself in traffic situations like this with any regularity.

I'm sure I will get attacked for this post, but it just seems like we should all act in ways to avoid confrontations in our lives, and go out of our way to avoid interacting with strangers in any way that could possibly aggravate them enough to follow us. Of course, since you're a big guy you probably haven't been called out much, so you don't have the built-in humility of smaller men and women -- I'm talking about the natural physical humility that comes from being beaten up in the past, whether or not for fair reasons.

She has a mossberg 930 that will take 6 of them out quicker than they can get out of the car. The situatons would still suck though.

Just because you or she has a gun doesnt make your impervious to criminal activity. I sleep with a pistol and AR within arms reach but say I forget to lock the door at night someone could sneak up to my wife and I sleeping with very little noise.

Just something to think about....

Your post is understandable, and something I would think reading the same thing. Thing is is I live in a small town, didn't get bhind anyone on the way home, and the people in the car all had beer in hand. I think they were a car that almost side swiped me. Don't feel bad, I would think the same thing reading this post, which I alot of th time do reading GD. I just had to vent.

In small towns, big guys are the first to get called out.

yup I am a big guy and people see me and for some reson because I am so big they think I am dumb and that they can intimidate me....

and another good job on conveying your mission to them.
