Thanks again for the scenario. I was not there and can only compare your experiece to similar ones I have endured!
Lock your doors and roll up the window. Look straight and drive away when you have a route of escape. Producing your pistol would likely have a negative outcome, especially since the man had not threatened you in any way. What if he was coming to tell you he was sorry and just happened to have a scowl on his face? I am a pretty friendly fellow but I have been told that I am not friendly looking (I do not always agree with this).
Not bashing you in any way nor trying to be a Monday morning quaterback. I am simply running through the situation in my mind and using this as a refresher to what "I" need to do in similar circumstances.
I believe that had the man starting breaking your window or prying your door open with a bar the situation would then call for deadly force.

Sounds like the situation turned out alright.....I am glad that it did.
I would love to use your scenario to ask the forum a question. I understand that we all have a duty to protect ourselves from attack, that is clear to me!
If we are in our vehicle in a similar situation ,don't we currently have a duty to retreat? It is my understanding that it is mandatory to attempt removing ourselves from the situation. Please correct me if I am wrong. I am in no way suggesting that someone should risk attack, I am asking in the perspective of a court...would they buy this shooting? I do not think they would. As always.....if I am wrong, please be gentle and steer me on the right path! Thanks.
