Re: close call
+1 teamless VERY well said.
I have been in a few situations where I was faced with pulling the trigger. One time I did....I shot a bull dog that someone needlessly turned loose and told to attack me. Even though it was a dog, it still rattled me.
The office where I worked was also robbed (pm for more details)
Most recent was I witnessed a truck load of guys trying to run a car load of girls off of the road. He did ram her with his truck. She turned around and seeing me screamed for her (their) life. I have NEVER hear such fear in someones voice....... longer story short....with 911 in my ear (i LOVE blue tooth) I was forced to draw my 45 and threatened to shoot every one of them if they didn't get back in the truck.....3 were charging my truck as another was reaching under the seat. After this The girls were also able to call 911. The 911 op told me MATTER OF FACT that the guys did for sure have guns in the truck. (see reaching under the seat)
Yes the thought of taking a life can be bothersome. But the comfort of knowing that, if need be, you have the ability to protect you and yours. I think you did a great job and did the right thing. There WAS an immediate THREAT....you did what you had to defensively by drawing and placing the engine block between you and the BG. And even with all of the adrenaline pumping, you were still level headed enough to recognize the object in his hand.
Think of it this way.....there is a good chance you just educated a HOT HEAD and very possibly SAVED his life. I bet he will think twice before acting that way again.
Carry with confidence and dont second guess yourself.
