Okay, WTF?

That all sums up as, "don't worry unnecessarily, but pay attention and be prepared. From one who knows."
Almost forgot, "and you did the smart thing."

Need to practice your 180 degree turns from reverse! Now that would have been badass. Glad you're OK.

I think under the circumstances you did just fine Bigdaddy. You had a person who was not acting normal or anything close to normal at all,advancing on your car in a rather aggressive manner. Why stick around and see if the intentions are good? So yes you did what you had to do. What I enjoyed seeing on the responses was that everyone thought you did the right thing and nobody armchair quarterbacked decision making process. I myself am a very "Alpha" male...growing up fighting and in trouble as a kid,getting into martial arts in 97 taught me alot about myself and made me much more calmer and patient...I still have my moments..but for the most part handle myself pretty well..I hit the gym 4-5 days aweek..im around 6'1 230lb all muscle..so generaly going to bars or out and about at night im not messed with..and by no means am i saying iam a badass or anything such..these are just things I have observed...I did my time in the army got deployed couple times and did a 2 year stint as a correctional officer. I was a level 3 combatives instructor in the Army, and a field defensive tactics instructor here in Washington. Now im just a average joe student, But my point is I alwas have a tactical mindset where ever Iam. You can call it paranoid if you want..but untill you live a life where your rifle is next to you 24/7 and you are getting shot at and blown up all the time, or had to break up gang fights in a prison where its you and like 200 inmates, and your life is basicly in thier hands,cause no matter how tough and hard you think you are..you wont win that one...you dont have alot of room to speak. I alwas carry a firearm on my person and make sure that Iam skilled in using the firearm in a stressfull situation. Ofcourse you can be skilled with your your hand to hand fighting skills along with a weapon, But your biggest tool you have is your brain. Its what makes you decide on logical thinking..and the flight or fight decision that you will make under a very stressful time. My point with all my rambling,and maybe I said too much..is that life is life..its not a movie where you can say "cut"..it happens to you,regardless if you like it or not. You are presented with whats in front of you and then you must decide on what option is going to help you most. Do not walk around life paranoid, But alwas remain aware of your surroundings, look at things that dont look right or stand out. alwas have a exit strategy if your in a bad area or place. Have a confident mindset. *sidenote* I would suggest carrying Vexor pepperspray,as I understand firearm laws in Cali suck ass..Vexor is not like typical self defense sprays or even what most police departments use. These use spray thats around the 1.5 million "scotsville" heatunits. The vexor is 15 million. This will stop an attacker in his tracks and leave him in a world of hurt, but with no pernament injuries. goodluck to you Bigdaddy
