Armed Attorneys Emily Taylor and Edwin Walker discuss a terrifying road rage incident involving a machete—and break down exactly when deadly force is legally justified.
A Harris County woman was threatened by a man wielding what appeared to be a machete during a road rage encounter after she slowed down in a school zone. The situation escalated quickly—but what if she had been armed?
Could this have legally turned into a defensive shooting?
🚨 What You’ll Learn:
* When does a road rage situation become self-defense?
* Is a machete legally considered a deadly weapon in Texas?
* Can you draw your firearm before the attacker strikes?
* How do threat + capability + proximity factor into deadly force?
* Does the Castle Doctrine apply inside your vehicle?
* When does waiting too long become dangerous—or acting too early become criminal?
