Very good points indeed. To paraphrase your statements above, you might get shot if you
cut people off
get into an argument
get into other conflicts
approach a strange car window
offer to help people unasked in Florida
because people might
be carrying a gun
have anger management issues
have impulse control issues
have control freak issues
So basically, you gotta pussyfoot around in life and assume the other guy is armedand unhinged. To assume otherwise may cost you your life.
Your other option is to buy yourself a gun, acquire the permits (CCW,) get the proper firearms training, hit the range for sufficient practice, educate yourself in non-lethal conflict resolution techniques, prepare yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally to use a firearm, but hope you never have to.
Welcome to Florida - the Land of Choices.
Florida isn't for sissies. We have gators, snakes, and hunters. Plenty of people carry. I love it here. I do find it hilarious when people complain about where they live. Take the train.
