Question: What should happen in this case: Driver 1 cuts off Driver 2, and Driver 2 tailgates Driver 1. Driving beside Driver 1's car, Driver 2

What should happen in this case: Driver 1 cuts off Driver 2, and Driver 2 "tailgates" Driver 1. Driving beside Driver 1's car, Driver 2 pulls up next to Driver 1 and (according to passengers in Driver 1's car) waves a gun in the air. Driver 1 stops at the next stop light, exits his car and pulls out a handgun he holds by his side while standing beside Driver 2. When the light changed, Driver 1 returned to his car and drove away, followed by Driver 2, who called 911. Driver 1 was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Should he be convicted? Did he "assault" Driver 2, as you now understand that term? If so, what are his defenses? See State v. Almeida, 356 P.3d 822 (Az. App. 2015).
