When he turned away from you by the trashcan he was thinking if he was man enough to go through with it.
The fact that you stared at him and the driver in the truck and showed no fear meant he backed off.
The only thing you did wrong was not to call 911 with the License Plate and description.
If this had occurred to me, when he turned away, I would have turned drawn, then left my hand with the pistol behind my leg. If he had chose poorly and come towards me, I could have pulled the pistol forward but left it down to show him the pistol without having to get a sight picture and possibly alarming anyone else.
Wow. I disgaree with pretty much ALL of that. But what do I know, I'm just a dumb old ex-cop.
