If it doesn't warrant calling the cops then don't use language like that. Because some folks won't be bluffed and will escalate when presented with that kind of situation.
If you are not willing to devote 3 or 4 hours to explain to the cops exactly why you said what you said and did what you did, then do the adult thing and manage the situation with an intelligent attitude, body language and speech.
"Your life is in danger"????? You need a better default opening line. How about, "Sorry, I didn't see ya'll till I was parked, it won't happen again."
Responsible adults and CHL holders need to have the situational awareness to see the possible issues before they start and defuse them. Manage yourself, manage others and manage the area around you. Otherwise, you will be swept around by the current and may end up going down the drain.

I almost did the same thing a few days ago. While i was filling, i was doing my normal 360 scan and noticed this one car that wasnt filling up. The car then proceed to drive in my direction and pulled up in front of a truck that was in the pump ahead of me. A guy gets out and looks into the truck to see whats in there. After looking, he gets back into his car and drives to a pump a row or two to my right. I go back into my car, get my phone out in case i need to call the cops. I was ready to leave even though my tank was only filled half way because it didnt feel right. The only reason i stayed was because that truck belonged to an older woman and no one was with her. She was inside paying for gas and didnt see any of this happen.kjolly wrote:I left a gas station several weeks ago after pumping only a half tank because someone was acting strange.
I continued filling gas, watching the car and its occupants. I then notice the driver of the car is trying to position the car so the pump blocks my view of him. At this point, i know he knows im watching him. I had my phone in the left hand and my right hand was on my backup pocket gun. They made another round towards me and the truck and then left. By the time my tank was filled, the lady just started to fill her tank. I sat in my car waiting for a few minutes keeping an eye out for that car because i was worried about that lady. The one mistake i made was not memorizing the vehicles license plate number.
