Re: i drew my weapon tonight
He sounds like an extreme type "A" personality that would have felt fulfilled if he pounded on you.
You did good
. Keep the whacko at a safe distance with loud commands mentioning that you are armed and ready and call 911. If you would have backed up to egress, this nut job might not have been satisfied with the ending and could have pursued you setting up another confrontation. Great outcome and good job.
A few years ago while making a left turn from a turn lane, I stopped at an yellow light that hadn't been yellow too long. The aggressive driver behind me went absolutely ballistic - I could see him screaming and pounding on his dash, he was obviously planning on making the light no matter what color it was. Fortunately that was the end of that episode (I was not carrying at that time.)
