How did I do handling this situation?

A couple of months ago, I experienced a strong temptation to draw my firearm for the first time since I started carrying a year ago. I was on my way to the grocery store, and in the parking lot, the car in front of me was going slow like they were going to pull over and drop somebody off at one of the stores nearby, so I just pulled around them. Turns out he was just going excessively slow, and took personal offense to me passing him (I promise in never went over 10mph). After I parked and started walking into the grocery store, he pulled up behind my car and leaned out the window and yelled, “You pull that shit again, I’m gunna come out and beat your ass.” I recognized that as an empty threat and didn’t want to get further involved, so I just brushed it off and walked into the store.I came back out five minutes later with my carton of eggs and shampoo to find him standing beside my car. At this point, I started to get nervous, because he was a very large dude, and I’m kinda short and weigh 130 soaking wet. He goes on to say that it wasn’t cool of me to walk off like that, to which I responded that he threatened physical assault and I didn’t want to be in that situation. Since he was standing right by my door, I thought he might try to grab me and I might pull out my gun, so instead I stood there and let him talk at me, gave a half-assed apology, and as soon as he walked away from me, I got in my car and drove off.I don’t know if anything bad would have happened, but I didn’t want to take chances, because even if he was rude and confrontational, it was certainly better for me to swallow my pride than to potentially escalate the situation to the point that I would need to defend myself with my firearm.How did I do?
