yes

Ghost- answer is yes. If I feel threatened, the one threatening me is in significant danger. I don't know what is in his mind or heart, or a what endpoint some cokehead will carry the confrontation. But with a de facto demonstration of bad faith, I will be forced to assume the worst and act accordingly. Regardless of what jurisdiction I am passing through..
Jake- that said, I can barely wear my cell phone when strapped in the seat, much less carry in my waist.I don't want to to have to remove it nor leave in car, so how do you pull this off?

Call the police and use the purchase transactions, video from the station along with your snapshots. Finger prints too on door and damaged items.

Idiots like that are usually well know by the police and they may already know all about them and just need a victim to press charges.

Let the cops know you felt your life was being threatened and FORCE them to file that report. If they ask you can mention that you thought they were armed (increases the heat ten fold). Tell them your lawyer will need it. Ask for the Chief if they dont want to cooperate.

They must act or you will have a law suit against them.

The squeakiest wheel gets the oil, so offer the local newspaper a press release.

Make it a public issue and even the Mayor will have to get involved to do damage control.

I know it sounds like a lot of work but with all that bad PR where do you think these dummies can hide?

PS: The guns are very ballsy and all and I can relate as I am no stranger to arms either, but nothing good can come of escalation. Let the cops and public do a number on them. The heat will last a lot longer and they will have to lay low for a long time if nothing else.

Maybe in Alabama you can run it that way, in NY thinking you're in danger isn't good enough, you are only legal to use force if equal force is being used on you and even that can be vague in front of a jury. You cannot even shoot a vandal in your home who is unarmed, which is unfortunate.

I'm young and stupid. If I ever caught the fcker that took his key to my car, my fists would have no hesitation getting introduced to his face.
I work at a nightclub. I've stared down the barrel of a loaded gun before... Even got to see it fire. I have a nice gash on the side of my face to prove that I survived a bullet aimed for my head.

Some punk kid coward enough to scratch my car isn't getting any sympathy from me. He either pays for the repairs in full, or I take the payment in medical bills with interest.



That's me on the right. Scar on my left cheek.

Appendix carry with a short barrel. I use a 3" 1911 or a Glock 26/27. Very comfortable as long as you don't need to lose 50#.
