Your arguement does not hold water. I will never call you a "gun hater" just one who does not understand where the Second Amendment comes into play keeping an uncontrollable government at bay. Any man who beats on women need to go to jail. But sadly most abused women don't or will not press charges.

Also I don't really carry if he had a permit or not. I would venture to guess that he did not since he was so readily willing to display his firearm to you. I don't know if you are male or female but it really doesn't matter for what he did was an assualt and you should have departed the area, called the police and made a formal complaint. So you are as much of the problem as to allowing someone to assualt you that way since you did nothing to stop him from doing it again, and most likely getting shot. There are some of us who can draw and fire under a second.
