Isn't the number one rule of being armed to never initiate any conflict?

Right, when you strap on a gun, you need to take your ego off and leave it at home. "But he cut in line..."
So what? Irritating and rude, sure, but not worth all of the potential trouble that getting in a shouting match when you're carrying could turn into.

When he started opening the trunk the guy carrying should have left. Seriously, what if he had just come from the range with his AR15 in the trunk? That could have ended badly.

Right, guy pops his trunk and starts rooting around, it's time to leave (past time to leave) and waiting until the guy gets something out of the back and acts threatening/menacing with it, way too late. And it seems like the little fella with the gun could have gotten in serious trouble. All it would have taken would have been for the other guy to call and say "some crazy guy started screaming at me and then pulled a gun!"
It likely would have worked out OK in the end given all of the video, but it still would have been a huge PITA to deal with.

At least, that's my guess/take on how it could have gone worse.
