But it could be risky to encourage road rage in other drivers.  :)
Especially in the USA where they have a shotgun behind the driver's seat.

BillK, this is greatly exaggerated, and perhaps misunderstood by those not
in the US, but I will attempt to clarify.  

Having a shotgun behind the driver's seat is very rare, even in the reddest
of our states.  Reason: they are too long to be conveniently aimed with one
hand out the drivers side window, clumsy, hard to access back there.  Better
is a competent handgun in the pistol box beside the driver in the center
console or the pistol box on the drivers side door, either of which which
can be accessed easily and quickly in an emergency, better than behind the
seat or in the pistol box in front of the front passenger seat.

Some yahoo insulting you with a scrolling LED in the car ahead does not
constitute an emergency worthy of expending ammo and inviting censure by the
local constabulary.  Proper firearm safety suggests the device should be
kept in its stowage under such circumstances to ensure having plenty of
firepower when a true emergency requires it.

Further clarification available on request, you're welcome.
