And welcome to the forum and as others have said thanks for sharing!

No question is stupid when a better understanding of it could mean someone lives or dies and you go to jail or not. That's what this place is for and I'm sure I've asked my fair share of stupid questions before but others answers always help someone. The one concern I have tho, is this stuff should have been covered better in your chl class so ask away so people here can help. No harm in asking any question.

Tough situation, I've had something similar happen but he tried yo confront me at a gas station. I definitely agree with the above, find a place near you with a pistol training course so you are more comfortable with your firearm. Then go to the range again and again and again, until you are secure in handling and using it. That way you can properly have the gun loaded +1 and not locked away in your glove box. If you really needed it in a hurry, it's gonna do you no good locked up.

Also, using any sort of indicator like a window smashed out as your justification for shooting isn't really the best option. Your gun should be your last resort in protecting your life and while you can use it for protection of property in certain situations, if you can safely get away, ie drive away, then doing so will save a lot of headaches. The law now does have protection for pulling your weapon and not firing it but this is very dangerous IMO. I'd recommend reading the law over more precisely and talking through scenarios with someone you trust to help you be better prepared in the future. Here is a great place.
