Deputies: Motorcyclist with concealed carry permit stops knife-wielding driver in road rage incident
A Flagler County man is under arrest after he threatened a motorcyclist with a knife in a road rage incident near Palm Coast Tuesday.
Deputies said they responded to the intersection of Pine Lakes Parkway and Whirlaway Drive just after 1 p.m. after getting several calls to 911 for a reported road rage incident.
According to the sheriffs office, 50-year-old Rafael Vincent Rivera and a motorcyclist got into an argument after Rivera cut the motorcyclist off.
Witnesses told deputies that Rivera exited his truck with a knife in his hand and threatened the motorcyclist.

Nothing particularly remarkable about incident, except that it is one of the types of DGUs that don't get recorded. A potentially lethal assault was stopped with no injuries but a search of sites that keep records of gun use, backed by news reports, just seem to have missed this and similar incidents.

One person with a gun stops a knife attack and that makes guns what?
It makes them still a scourge in this country that result in an outlandish number of unnecessary deaths.
There is no excuse and trying to justify them just makes you look pathetic
