Being in very good relationship with local PD (volunteer medic/FF) I would have called a unit to intercept the car if they continued to follow me and given them my name so they knew who I was and that I was armed.

Last thing I would have done is parked in front of my own house. If I have to fight, or have my life threatened I want to be as far from as my home and loved ones as I can be.

I'd have gone inside the house and taken up position inside.

1. Not his duty to "check out occupants inside"... especially being followed, in the dark, it would be quite difficult to make out decent desriptions of occupants being the car was obviously dimmed out as per his accounts.

2. Go to your house and let them know where you live and risk possible confrontation/retaliation?

The LAST thing I want is the bad guys to know where I live.... I am by no means saying I have LEO experience, but having lived with my father for 18 years (Secret Service Agent) I have picked up on quite a few VERY essensial things..... one is never bring the fight home or the fight to your family. That is one of the WORST things I think a person could do.....

If you are unsure about something, call the police and have them intercept for you, YOU PAY THE POLICE for this service and for THEM to risk their lives doing the job they do every day, dont try and play Rambo as if you have no other options. If you have a cell phone, USE IT while you have time and are relatively safe (continue moving in your vehicle while watching them follow you)

Lastly... I would hardly call this a "Crisis Averted"
