I would like to get some opinions on what others would have done in my situation.
The other night I was at my GF's apartment, which is in a high crime area, and was heading out the door to leave (around 2200hrs). As I stepped outside an individual who looked drunk or on something (staggering and slurring words), started to walk to our door while talking to us (again undecernable words). I told them I didn't want to talk. They keeped coming towards us and rambling words. I finally told them to stay where they were and not come any closer. At this time they were about 20ft away. They didn't listen and so I decided to just step back into the apartment and wait with my GF for a while before I left again.
I was armed, but hadn't thought about needing it at that time. If I was alone and had not been at my GF's house I would have just continued on to my vehicle trying to avoid the person while maintaining my situational awareness, but since she was alone I felt I should stay there for awhile. What would some of you have done in my shoes?
My background just for FYI: 28yrs old, 10yr army vet, army combatives trained, and some martial arts experience. I have handled firearms my whole life and competed on my past NG's shooting team.
