Very interesting range of laws in this thread. What plays in one State, gets you a major felony and jail time in another. Here in Ohio, a police report would end in George being arrested, charged with several felonies, and in all likelyhood spending mandatory gun specification jail time (5 years). The Tongan would have walked, with a charge of loitering or some nonsence. After all, he did say he wanted to "Borrow" some money. FWIW, I think you did the right thing. I don't want to sound cold, but it ain't your fault if the guy goes down the street, rubbing his nuts, and rips off an unarmed target. You live in a CCW State, and there is litte reason for anyone to be an unarmed target.
I saw Practical Magic the other night. I always hated the song, but since reading this thread all I can think is:
Kick the Slime in the coconuts,
Make him fold up.
Kick the Slime in the coconuts,
Man it feel better.
