So I'm walking the pup the other night and a car is coming down the street towards me. I wiggle my LED flashlight at them to let them know I'm there. I have had issues before of cars "breezing" me and the dog and its left me a little skiddish. This car veers towards me and proceeds to take a path to hit me! I jump to the ditch and the car passes and I clearly hear the occupants laughing. My road is not lighted, I didn't get the tag and couldn't tell the make/model/color. I had my pocket carry on me and if they had come back to do harm I was ready but they were cowards or they got wise and moved on.
My question is; If they had come back to take another pass at me could I defend myself? I worry because I'm in a house filled neighborhood and a stray bullet could do more harm than good and a moving target is difficult at night with a handgun.
I wonder what the legalities are here? I called the county police and they were of no help. Could care less actually. If I were in a more rural area like where I grew up, I know what I would have done........
I want advice not criticism.
