When you read all the road rage incidents/issues in MA, it kinda makes you realize why it's a "may issue" state. (No, I don't really mean this, am being sarcastic, but....)
Imagine if every MA driver was packing a G26 or P229? There'd be one hell of a traffic jam at funeral parlors! A few years ago, weekday,430pm I was trying to get on 128 north at the pike interchange. A true clusterf*ck. I'm in the left lane like most, and on the right, in the "Illegal" lane is a car gunning and slowing, trying to cut me or anyone off and slide in because they simply didn't want to wait their turn. Finally, they slammed to the left so hard it almost put me into the guardrail.
About 50 yards later I had the opportunity and gunned it up alongside them. They're on my right, I roll down the window and see it's an old lady, literally old enough to be my grandmother. She's with some other old bat. She looks over at me and immediately gives me a "F*ck off and die" look and flips me the middle finger. Imagine Granny Clampett giving you the finger. Simply priceless.
I literally almost fell out my drivers door laughing.
