Re: i drew my weapon tonight
I can only think the other guy was an un-provoked maniac, or that he didn't realize he'd run a Stop sign and thought the OP pulled-out in front of him, in which case he was a provoked maniac.

Re: i drew my weapon tonight
Good discussion, one that I would say was among the reasons I joined this forum.
I, too, am too old for any sort of physical scuffle...
Not sure how long the OP's been carrying, but it is clear from all the "Waiting..." here that there are many, many new CHL carry-ers coming-in to the populace who are not only new to carrying but many have never even touched a handgun before. To say that these types of situations (like the OP had) represent something VERY DIFFERENT from what newbies have experienced before may be an extreme understatement.
Reminds me a little bit of the annual Sturgis bike rallys where some people die every year. I don't know that they keep detailed records about the motorcycling accidents they have with respect to how long a party has been riding, but suffice to say there are many folks who buy bikes and ride them to Sturgis before they are truly ready (I've always said you need to survive your first 10K miles on your bike, after which no you are not "home free" but your chances of survival increase dramatically).
