Illegal, but impossible to prove unless the other person had a video camera.

Legal. Not evidence of anything.

I think he said the other driver was texting.
I can believe that very well could have been his intent, but again I question his reasoning.
How did he expect the other driver (in a car going freeway speed, windows up) to understand what he was saying?
And if he did point the gun (impossible to prove) he went

(Though I suppose there could be an argument made that someone who's texting while driving, esp. at freeway speed, is a direct threat to the lives of everyone around...)
