Driving home alone tonight, got into a confrontation. A car was swerving and driving slowly, probably a drunk driver at this time on a saturday night. I pass it quickly to try to minimize the amount of time I'd be near the car for the rest of the night. The car was very aggravated by this and started to follow me. As I drove towards home, they passed by me and stopped in front of me, trying to block me in the road between the median and the curb. Then 3 men got out and one opened my car door and threw a punch at me and another kicked my car. I reversed, pulled into a roundabout and drove along a main road and called the cops. They followed for a while but then turned off. I took a long way about home.
I had my carry piece with me. While this was happening, I actually spent time thinking about what I'd have to go through in terms of legal process if I shot them.. Having to testify before a jury, possibly jail... Now looking back, I feel like I kind of wimped out about it. I think I should've at least brandished and ordered them to stop when I saw them getting out of their car. I feel bad about my situational awareness. What would you have done?
