For every "hero" with a gun, there's an "idiot" with a gun.

From the Times of Wayne County:

Driver pulls gun on what he thought was drunk driver

When Artur Slepecki's vehicle was struck by another driver on Route 104 near Lakeside Road in the Town of Ontario on Thursday (3/22) just before 4 p.m., he thought the erratic driver was drunk. The driver had struck another vehicle before hitting Slepecki and eventually ended up in a ditch.

The other driver exited his vehicle to find an angry Slepecki approaching with a 380 pistol pointed at him. The 911 center began to receive a slurry of calls reporting a man waving a pistol on Route 104. The erratic driver jumped back in his vehicle and sped away, immediately stopping after police pulled behind him.

What Slepecki did not realize was that the erratic driver was having a diabetic reaction at the time of the driving incident. Slepecki received a broken ankle in the accident and according to police there was significant damage to his vehicle.

On Wednesday (4/25) Slepecki, age 52, of Pineview Drive in Macedon was arrested for Menacing in the 2nd Degree. He told police he thought he was in danger from what he thought was a drunk driver. Slepecki was issued an appearance ticket for Ontario Town Court for May 1st. "This was another road rage incident. I am seeing him (Slepecki) losing his permit," said Wayne County District Attorney Rick Healy.

For "every"? FBI stats, or are you making it up as you go along?

5,638,653 defenses, and counting, against crime, with legal guns, since 1/1/2010. That's 1 every 13 seconds. How many incidents illustrating the degree of criminal idiocy that Slepecki showed, in that time?

You think of him, 1st, as a gun owner. I think of him, 1st, as a nut, and a criminal.

Do you know for a fact that he's an addict? How do you know enough to publicly make that character assassination? To what is he addicted?

This incident is just an an example of how, even with the restrictive gun laws in NY state, people with questionable judgment wind up with CC permits.

So he is a "nut and a criminal" with a legal right to carry a firearm?

The gun owner will get off as the other person attacked him with the car and can be viewed as a deadly weapon. BTW - he did not shoot the guy just protected himself.

This incident is just an an example of how, even with the restrictive motor vehicle laws in NY state, people with questionable judgment wind up with drivers licenses. To prevent this in the future, we should take away everyone's driver license. Can't be too careful you know.

Whats the old proverbial? you only need a licence when you are stopped or it's asked for.Solutions are needed in getting illegal guns off the street. Any suggestions?

Enforcing existing gun laws. Any suggestions for getting illegal drivers off the street?

Back where we started.....it "aint" working, which we all know to be the case.

Both

It is not possible to get all illegal guns or drivers off the street. So the next best thing is to insure innocent people are able to protect themselves from those that engage in illegal activity.
