Pistol-packing crazy brandishes gun at fellow Palin fan at rally

I kid you not. Deadly violence, my friends, is around the corner. In this case, the nutbags are acting out on one another (Colorado Pols):
As the Glenwood Springs Post-Independent reports, the question of whether this segment of full-bore nutter McCain/Palin supporters is a symptom of something new and ugly manifesting in our culture, or people who would be crazy anyway and are simply more noticeable when they gather in large arena settings, remains open:
Heated words between drivers leaving Sarah Palin's rally Monday allegedly escalated with one man brandishing a loaded handgun.
Jack B. Cheskaty, 62, of Grand Junction, said he pulled a handgun because "he wanted to be ready for anything" in what started as a verbal spat between drivers in bumper-to-bumper traffic leaving Lincoln Park around 8 p.m. Monday, according to an arrest affidavit.

Cheskaty and three family members were riding in a Chrysler, moving slowly in a line a traffic. A man behind the wheel of a Kia SUV attempted to inch in front of Cheskaty's Chrysler, the affidavit said.

"If you want to get ahead of me you'll have to deal with my insurance agency," Cheskaty allegedly shouted.

The Kia's driver reportedly replied, "I've got insurance too."

The driver in the Kia alleged Cheskaty then displayed a handgun, "racked the slide" and held the weapon over the steering wheel, according to the affidavit.
