Sparks: great job--you handled the situation nonviolently, compassionately and firmly. Colerain is a bit out of my range, but I've been approached by a couple of shady types at Walmart/HomeDepot on Highland in Cincy. Body language and firm tone of voice have worked well but I did paint one with a flashlight when he was aggressive.

There are also a couple of folks working the "Hey, can I talk to you?" angle at Rookwood--one clever guy who hangs out in front of Lone Star as if he were a customer out having a smoke hassling people walking to Joseph Beth. I haven't actually figured out what he wants, though he has asked me if he could talk to me on a couple of different nights. Both gas stations at Madison and Edwards, too. And one dude who's habitually in front of Graeter's/Teller's in Hyde Park Square. So even in your neighborhood: maintain good SA. I replied to a text message while walking in Hyde Park Square and the next thing I know, this dude is a meter away, asking me for money. Had he punched me in the snoot, it would have been my fault.

I think you done great.
 
So looking at the CCW rules, revealing your concealment was most likely inappropriate and escalated the event to a dangerous level.

I didn't reveal anything. My cover garment never cleared my weapon. I think he just got the idea based on my body language/preparedness to draw.
 
Sparksie, don't cha just love the Monday monring QBs? I dare say 99% of us whom have had pregnant wives with us understand your actions completely. ;)
 
I'm going to close this because:

1. Consensus is that our OP acted reasonably.
2. Every once in awhile someone wants to bring up the same critique as if it was a new idea. Then folks support the OP.
3. Thus, we generated 5 pages and face the redundancy wall.
