Then what?
If I had a crystal ball I would answer that. But it would totally depend on the aggressor. I thank God he came to his senses and left . :txflag:
Drawing with the expectation that the OP will retreat and no intention to shoot may prove to be fatal. I lost count of the number of time I have read that tactic here - having carried daily for 31 years and been in more than my fair share of gunfights, I do believe mere presentation will lead to more problems than it solves.

For example: let's presume a jury would agree the OP was the aggressor all the way up to the point where the GGWAG draws their handgun when there is no obvious weapon or situation that poses an immediate and imminent threat of bodily harm. At this point the GGWAG becomes the aggressor and one of two actions happen next: the OP either does not stand their ground and retreats or draws (they have not drawn on you already from inside the vehicle at a low ready) their firearm and shoots you through the door or window in justified self defense.

Just my two cents - maybe it helps someone, maybe it don't. Glad you are safe nonetheless brother.
