Lee Corbin suggested we explain what we would do if in traffic a car wanted
to get out of a parking lot.

Since 1975 when I noted the rifle on the back window rack of the truck which
had just cut me off, almost running me off a bridge and did NOT choose to
make an insulting hand gesture in return, I have assumed that every driver
is armed and dangerous.

I am a careful and polite driver at all times due to the pure selfishness of
desiring survival.

I also assume that everyone I see is carrying a concealed weapon.

I have made this assumption since teaching police martial arts over the last
ten years.

Pragmatically Yours,
