The One Day I Don't Freaking Carry

[Ichiban]

Glad to hear that it turned out okay without anyone getting seriously hurt.  I still would have pursued the legal angle on this moron.  And if he wanted to come back for "revenge" that's when he would be carried out and with the history there is no way you would be facing any charges for defending yourself.

In Colorado it is okay to drink and carry as long as you are not under the influence so having A beer at lunch would not be a problem.  Fortunately most of the bars downtown (where all of the fighting occurs and where I never go) ban fire arms and have metal detector at the door.

As much as I hate to admit it, that last line was actually funny as hell.

Its funny cause you're gay.

That Eric, not funny, and not true. You know me well enough to know I'd admit it if I was, just to stir the pot. Hell I admitted to voting for BO, and look how well that turned out. Its far worse than being gay. Know when to quit man.

Mini-Cooper!!!  You should've kicked his ass!

At least you tried to defuse the situation.  Who the hell gets themselves in a rage over a car honk?  Drink at home, not in public, where you don't endanger yourself and perhaps your mother.  Good response to your situation though.

Tex, it would have taken me, you and probably Rob to kick this guys ass. Seriously, only about 5' 9'', but built like damn fire plug. When you can see muscels through scrubs? Someone has been spending waaay too much time at the gym. Mini-Cooper was grounds for an ass kicking I'll grant you, but I wasn't going to be the one to do it.

I'm glad you're OK and Mom is doing well. 

However, in all my 53 years of life and 37 years of driving, I've not found a GOOD reason to use the horn on my automobile.

My suggestion, disconnect the thing, they usually are used for all the wrong reasons.  The guy probably had no idea he nearly hit your Moms car and probably thought the opposite when she honked.  End result....raging thicknecked dickhead who probably has a problem with Poly Sci Professors...

Be safe and carry regardless of where you're going.  If your gonna be drinking, do it at home.

I think you handled the situation the best it could be. 

One thing to look into though:
It was my understanding, for what that is worth, if the establishment's primary revenue is NOT alcohol it is still legal to carry.  Sloppies Bar-no, Applebees-yes  Of course matter of imparement too.  One beer with lunch dinner-maybe, multiple drinks and no food-no
