So, if you think there is more going on, why wouldn't you get out of the way? If someone is driving crazy and I pull over to the side of the road to let them pass and they choose, for whatever reason, not to keep going, but instead bother me, then I will deal with that. In a car to car contact the rear car often has the advantage. It is much easier to flip a car in front of you than to disable a car behind you in a car.The problem with this strategy is when you have a line of traffic in front of you, beside you and some idiot behind you is driving erratic flashing his lights at you. There are people on the highways that race for pride or money or whatever and if you're in their way, they may take out their loss on you. Like the OP pointed out, it isn't always about some guy who is frustrated driver; there could be a lot more going on.
I've completely pulled over to the side of the road because of a driver behind me twice. Once several years ago and once several months ago. If you want to make sure your gun is accessible before pulling over, then go ahead. Be prepared for the other person to not just drive by, but if you continue to play their game then expect me to say you were justified you aren't going to get it.
There are so many ways to avoid this nonsense with other drivers that don't involve acting like a 16 year old leaving a HS parking lot.
