I escalated situation with my pride, and had to swallow it when weapons came into play


I acted stupidly proud, I know that. That's something I certainly have to work on.My friend and I went to the mall. We parked next to a very fancy Corvette I believe. I'm not a car guy, but my friend is. He wanted to check it out, so he walked over to it to look at it from up close. I stayed back.A guy comes out few seconds later and starts yelling "y'all get the fuck away from my car!" And walking towards us very aggressively. My friend is not confrontational, so he just says "I'm sorry man, I just thought it was such a cool car."The guy doesn't like it, and keeps walking toward me saying "get the fuck out of here."My friend gets quiet and walks away, but my stupid pride man. I can't just be cursed at for no reason, especially when I wasn't even involved. I say "look man, you parked in a public garage and anyone can look at your car."He comes up to me and starts yelling to get the fuck away (I'm nowhere near his car) or else.I say "there's nothing you can do about people looking at your car like it or not."He says "I can shoot you right now" and stop as if he's ready to draw (he wasn't openly carrying so I didn't know if he was bluffing).I know I'm stupid for even responding before, and my blood is boiling at this point because this thug is threatening my life over a stupid thing. I have Glock 17 on my hip but I don't even think about it. Instead, I swallow my pride and say "you're gonna shoot me over my friend admiring my car? Alright man." And I walk away, paying attention to any sudden moves from the guy.Man, my heart was racing at that time. I should've shut up way earlier, but I just couldn't. We got back into my car and drive away. You'd never think we were about to break into your car once we spoke to you and my friend apologized. I get that he may have felt that way coming out to see someone looking around his car, but threatening to shoot over nothing was too much.I know I fucked up. What are your guys' thoughts? via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/1SA9qx6
