Threatened by Stranger at Gas Station

Writing this post adrenaline dump so bear with me.Was sitting in the car at a gas station/convenience store while my wife was inside buying us vapes. Normally I would go in with her, but I was recently exposed to someone with COVID so I'm isolating for a few days. While she's inside a random guy I don't know comes back to his car which is parked next to ours, and right outside my window. He first tells me to roll down the window, which I very obviously refused to do. He starts calling me names, saying I'm a "bitch" and a "pussy" and keeps telling me F U, and that he's "gonna beat my ass". He tells me to "tell your boy who drives this truck that he's a pussy and a stalker". I tell him he's got the wrong person and say have a good night.I then pretend to go back to looking at my phone, but watching him out of the corner of my eye. He then moves and it looks like hes gonna open my door, so I hit the lock button to be sure it's locked. He continues to call me names and say "That's right you better lock your door". He eventually gets in his car and backs out right as my wife comes back and we get the hell out of dodge.A couple of takeaways:1.) I'm honestly not sure what I would've done if he opened the door. I pulled my shirt up so I could draw, but it would've been close range. I've trained close range draws and shooting, I train Jiu Jitsu and box so I have free hand skills, but it still makes me really nervous.2.) I'm not sure how it would stand in court if I shot him right off the bat. In my mind threatening me and pulling me out of my car constitutes a deadly threat. I do live in a stand your ground state. But I'm curious about your opinions.3.) I didn't have my pepper spray which I normally carry. I didn't bring it because we were just running out real quick. Not saying I would've used it, but I would've felt better having a non lethal option.4.) Wife gave me shit for bringing my firearm for such a short trip, but I'm glad I had it. A gun at home does you no good when you're out and about. And even a short trip to the gas station can turn into a bad situation really quick.What I could've done better:Thinking back I wish I would've undone my seat belt, but I'm also not sure what message that would've sent to the other guy. Usually I undo my seat belt when sitting in the car, so I'm going to be way more aware of doing it in the future. I was also wearing flip flops and wish I would've thought to kick them off. If I ended up out of the car I would've preferred being bare foot over having flip flops on.Conclusion:That shit was scary. I'm glad I had my gun, but more glad that I didn't have to use it. Always try to de-escalate the situation, but be prepared if it doesn't work. Random strangers can mistake your identity and think they have beef with you. Crazy strangers can confront you and be aggressive even if you haven't done anything to them. And most importantly, always carry your firearm when you're allowed to.All questions and comments are welcomed and encouraged via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/3APWC0V
