Then, if LEO runs your plate, it will come back with a "red flag". It might be generic, ie: the dispatcher (or computer) simply informs the officer that your vehicle was reported as "suspicious". This would in turn make you "suspicious" (suspicion of be suspicious :lol: ).
I think it would be best to make your own call and get the record straight.
Very good point, my Friend. :mrgreen:

I guess I'm just thinking that it sounds like this guy might be simply trying to lay low and hope no one says anything? Could this come back to bite him?
I find these legal discussions--even if based mostly in speculation--to be quite interesting.
That's a good question; I wish I had an equally good answer, but I don't. It's too late to "call immediately" and the justification isn't that clear to me, but again, there could be more to this event. Even if there is, I'm not sure how reporting it this long after the incident would be viewed by law enforcement. I'd like to hear from CHL/LEO on that part. Chas.
If "Friend" wasn't justified drawing his gun in the first place, should he make the call?

:iagree: That was the point of my questions. To find out the state of mind of "friend." No where in the OP did BamBam state whether that "friend" was in fear for his life or of bodily injury.

I asked if he ever determined what it was, nothing else. And you said No.
I know the suppositions or assumptions, I am asking for more details of what actually happened. What "the friend" actually saw or thought, could be used to determine whether "the friend" was justified.

Re: Friend had to draw his weapon tonight for protection

He (my friend) told him that he (my friend) would shoot him where he stands and that he (my friend) was not the person that he thought he (my friend) was.

Why would he say this? What lead him (your friend) to believe that he (your friend) was not the person he (the guy from the car) thought he was?

Did he (your friend) ever recognize what the other person had in his hand?
