Based on your description of events, I would definitely have called the police.SassedandLoaded wrote:-No, I didn't call the police. I wasn't sure what they could have possibly done at that point since the perp was long gone. Also, I never took my gun out of the holster and it was never visible, so I didn't worry about getting called in myself. Should I have?
It's possible (likely?) from your description of the perp that local LE would know who you were talking about. It sounded to me as if this would not have been the first time LE would have interacted with the guy. At minimum, given your location and a good description (sex, age, height, clothing, etc), a local search would have turned him up for questioning. Given that you had 2 witnesses that also felt the danger, there was little (zero?) risk of any repercussions on you for how you managed your weapon.
Just my $0.02, but after an episode like that I would want the cops alerted. I'd feel pretty badly if the guy just moved on to his next victim and I did nothing to get the police involved before it happened.
ETA: Also.... It's not unheard of for an aggressor to call 911 after being "threatened" by someone like you. Being the first to call 911 makes you the "victim" in their eyes. Doesn't hurt to call 911 and establish the facts from your perspective before someone else calls and makes you out to be the bad guy.
