And if it's your wife/mother/sister/daughter being beaten to death should I be a good witness or save her life?Piney wrote:Rule # 2 Never point the gun at anything you are not willing to destroy
You initiated the firearm situation by drawing your weapon, directing it at the male, and demanded that he follow your (civilian) instructions. Your action changed the entire situation, escalating it into a deadly force situation solely by your action.
Some may differ in their opinions. I always remind the family (all of which have their CHL and carry)-- They are not the enforcer of laws nor protector of the public at large. Their use of their firearm is to protect themselves and their family. Otherwise , remove oneself from the situation and remain a good witness.

I would not have drawn my weapon at that time.
I would have stepped from the car, phone in hand, and let the guy know that I was calling 911. Then I would take some pictures/video. If, at that time I was charged by the man, I would have drawn and shot without hesitation.
Monday morning quarterback is fun.
Not questioning the actions of the OP, but I think at most I would have drawn my weapon and kept it low by my side out of sight or at least had my hand on my weapon ready to draw. But, alls well that ends well.
