How many dashcam videos do you need to see of drivers crashing into vehicles or obstacles while giving or receiving such "feedback"?
You are turning your attention away from driving, and focusing instead on "feedback". Simultaneously, you are distracting the shitty driver from driving, and forcing them to focus on your attempt at providing "feedback". Two drivers are now distracted from the road because you felt some pressing need to communicate your displeasure.
You say "feedback", I say "escalation", and "endangerment". Again, if the possibility of a gun is what keeps you from choosing to escalate in this fashion, I cannot support your efforts to disarm.
Quite the contrary, I would prefer that you chose to arm yourself. Then you would understand that your feedback is not worth the risk, and a person providing you with such "feedback" is not worth your time. You would recognize that if you drew your firearm during a road rage incident, you would invite prison time for brandishing, manslaughter, or attempted murder. You would already understand the extreme dangers of escalation, and would actively avoid it. You would hold your ego in check, rather than allowing it free rein over your actions.
The best course of action is to open the distance between you and the shitty driver. Not try to convince them of their shittiness. If you need them to be possibly armed for your ego to allow you to retreat, then it is better for everyone on the road that they be armed.
