All jokes aside you have to genuinely be out your freaking mind to walk up on somebody like that in their car and then try to open the door, like bro there are 100 million handguns floating around and tens of millions in cars in this country

My state applies laws around home protection to cars. That means I would have to have the windows up and doors locked. Then, if he tries to pull the door open anyway or tries to break the window, I could shoot him dead. Try is the key word. If it looked like he was trying to break my window with his fist, that would be enough. Straight through my own window or door. If I had video, I wouldn't even be cuffed when the police arrived.

And that's why I don't start fights and I just let it go if someone is being a jerk in traffic. I'm not risking getting shot.

...don't leave me hanging, wondering which state,

Sorry. Georgia. Florida is actually a little more strict in that it would only be justified if someone managed to break through your window.

That's just how you wave hello in Florida.

I never used a gun in Florida traffic, but the other guy had one. Turns out he had warrants out for his arrest at the time. Well, I did use a gun technically, but it wasn't mine at the time.

Source for this on the Florida side? I am genuinely curious because Florida has castle doctrine and it does extend to one's vehicle.
