Maybe it's not as bad as I think.
It doesn't sound like it could possibly be as bad as you think! Yeesh, guns (which are common in most of the country, both urban and rural)?!

Road rage implies traffic. And two participants. Sure, I get buzzed on occasion (although the more I run, the more I wonder whether this is more target fixation than intentional harrassment), but doesn't that happen everywhere?? Same with idiots throwing things - it's rare, but it does happen, and again, doesn't it happen everywhere?
