Maybe he just wanted to ask for directions? I understand not wanting to get blindsided, but it also sounds like you did a LOT of escape and evasion moves without even confirming whether or not they were actually trying to chase you. No harm was done by it, but you also might have put yourself through a lot of unnecessary anxiety.....especially since you're saying that you would have probably still taken the same actions if you'd had your pistol with you. I am not saying this to be critical, but sometimes a cigar is just a cigar......and sometimes a guy is just asking for directions.

So on the positive side, I would say that you had good situational awareness, and you didn't hesitate to execute your plan of action.

On the negative side, I'd say that you might have overreacted.....or not....but might have.

My question is this: if your actions would have been the same whether or not you were armed, then why did you feel in any more danger because you weren't armed?
