I disagree. If you're in your vehicle and the vehicle is running, then that vehicle is a much more powerful weapon than any firearm you're likely to have with you.AEA wrote:Interesting first post.
If the guy shot at me, I would stop and return fire.
Yes. Flipping him off would be escalating the situation.Molon_labe wrote:Could that be construed as "escalating" the situation?
Yep.The Annoyed Man wrote:Flipping him off was a mistake, but it is one that I have made on a number of occasions, and of which I'm not particularly proud.
Going to the police station, preferably with GF on the phone telling them he's coming, would be my choice.
Going to the Wal-Mart parking lot was not a bad move, though. A public place where there's almost certain to be witnesses. (And someone who knows how to use a phone.) And there just might be a cop there. (I was just at Wal-Mart buying ammo, and there were two sheriff's deputies in there doing the same.)
And when they say, "He reported that you made a crude gesture with your middle finger."
I say, "The guy was drunk."
