What was Carolyn’s intention with the gun?

Towards the end of American Beauty, after her affair was found out by Lester and the relationship is broken off, Carolyn can be seen distraught in her car, and eventually loads a gun. She then drives home and finds Lester dead, after which she is found again to be extremely upset.



It seems obvious that Carolyn didn’t have an real intentions to kill Lester. What did she mean to do with the gun?
