And here we are worrying about all this non-violent resolution stuff when the good ol days solution is so simple!!

Re: Situation that almost made me think of pulling weapon...

[quote="VMI77] I'd like to think that as he walked off he realized how dangerous confronting a stranger like that could be, and how badly it could have gone if he'd confronted the wrong person.[/quote]

I seriously doubt it. Just as the non-carrying public is largely unaware that people are legally concealing & carrying around them on a daily basis, the thought about whether or not the person that they're about to confront is armed does not generally occur. That's why the responsibitly falls on our shoulders & probably why non-violent resolution is required training for Texas chl.

Re: Situation that almost made me think of pulling weapon...

Can't really find fault with the sequence of events since you ultimately kept your head & got out of the situation without hurting the other guy or getting hurt yourself. And I'll admit that as I read your narrative, it didn't occur to me to call the cops until you mentioned not finding any constables nearby. Of course at that point I'm all "call 911 & head to a convenience store or other populated area". I guess my hindsight even works for other people's situations too! But it does bring to mind one of the more prominent points from my chl class: just because I can doesn't mean that I should.
