The point is HE DID HAVE A GUN IN HIS FANNY PACK AND HE PULLED IT OUT If he had shot and killed me would I be any less dead because he didn't have a license?
To answer the question what did I do?
I saw the man throwing rocks at a dog as I was driving by. I rolled down my window and told him to stop. I won't repeat what he replied. Nonplussed I pulled over, got out of my gun and got between him and the dog. Again told him to stop....when I turned around to return to my car he pulled the gun, in a true cowardly fashion. When I turned back I was looking at a BIG silver gun.
The rest of the story is I followed him home...then went to the police station reported the issue and ultimately he spent the weekend in jail because he couldn't make bail. So I did bring charges....even came home to testify but they gave him a plea deal....don't know what it was cause no one called me to let me know.
I will say again...On a liberal scale I am center left. Socially liberal and financially conservative.

I presume that you got out of youi car, not out of your gun. It sounds like you did nothing wrong. You took a chance. Azzholes are everywhere. There are people who should not carry guns, legal or otherwise. I have carried a gun since I was 21. I shot my first person when I was 21. I shot my last person when I was 21. Same guy. He tried to split my head with a crow bar. I was in uniform. I have protected or saved several people over the years with a gun . I would rather have a gun to defend myself from an azz with a gun than than try to outlaw guns. That would be like outlawing sex to protect against aids. It just won't work.
