I bought my moms car, 1985 Eldorado good shape, for my work car( 20 mile one way). So comming to work this morning I noticed I had a low beam out. So I got the new headlight( in the box) and it was about 6.30 this evening(not quite dark yet) and I had my high beams on until I got out of the Omaha city limits. So I'm sitting at a stop light and a guy in front of me in a Orange BMW sticks his head outof the window and yells
"shut your fucking brights off". So I reacted, automatically, "fuck you". Then I remembered I had a firearm in the car. I thought "not cool", "don't want a road rage inncident that gets my ass kicked or I shoot some dickweed. If he would have said " your brights are killing me" , shut your brights off I would have just dimmed my lights and said sorry.

The Explorers lights are about as bright as the old car with the brights on. A lot of people flash their lights to tell you to turn them off. You should see it with the brights on.

When I pack I'm on my *BEST* behavior. Calm, cool, collected and alert.
It's not only a good way to maintain situational awareness but it keeps you focused. I guess that it helps that I keep my weapon on me (IWB or OWB) and am always acutely aware it's there. |

Relativly good awareness. I am sure that you will become more used to keeping your cool in those situations. As a general rule I try not to get into too many confrontations like that in general. Seems like you have your head on straight, and you will be fine.

My Nissan Maxima's low-beams often get mistaken for high-beams.
Until you switch on the REAL high-beams and melt their back bumper

You've got a light out, so you decide to blind everyone by turning your brights on?
I would have yelled too. Or shot out both of your lights. |

Tisk, tisk, tisk.
I remember one day I ran a buddy out to NFM, he didn't realize until we were there he still had his CCW holstered.  Back across the parking lot he scurries, covertly removes ammo, and locks firearm in my glovebox. |

Someone calls you on being an inconsiderate moron for knowingly driving with your high beams on in traffic and they're the asshole?
 I forgot, its about you. Mike |

I was walking out the door when I stubbed my toe on the door thresh hold.
I had my AR15 with me. In a fit of rage I unloaded a 30 round mag into the threshhold while screaming. We now return you to your egular programing. |
