      Ed Campbell just out of curiosity: have you ever felt like you were gonna have to use your gun while driving for Lyft or Uber? Where do you drive? I used to drive for Uber but I always stuck to driving in affluent areas to avoid any issues where I felt unsafe but I’m guessing your circumstances are different. Just for context I drove in Southern California in a region known as the South Bay which is relatively safe at least from my perspective.

      I can clearly see on the video its not a gun. Doesnt look like a gun. Doesnt look like his hand is in the shape of a gun. Just the verbal threat and his actions is enough. Cause if no one had a gun that man wouldve got in his face. Put hands on him or threatened to do so 1 foot from him and it could easily escalate. I think it was a good decision overall. That being said, The driver seeing this man with his own eyes probably just knew it was an object in hand (hes ready but not gonna shoot him) then he threatens him with said object and points it up at him. He drops him immediately. Good job

    Being a person who now constitutionally carries, I can tell you that I used to be the honker-road rager and let my ego get the best of me. I have done a complete 180 and do everything I can to avoid confrontation. The last thing I want to do is escalate and put someone down because I may have been the catalyst to the escalation, regardless if I started it or not. It isn't worth your life or their's to flex your ego. Stay calm, remove yourself from the situation and live another day. As soon as I started to carry and go through training, my attitude changed and now I am an advocate for being the silent shepherd rather than the opportunistic wolf.

      That is because you are a rational person. I believe many people undergo this transformation when they carry a firearm. With great power comes great responsibility, and you realize if you are ever put in a lethal situation your ability to settle it in your favor is also a burden you now have. SOME people unfortunately seem to not undergo this transformation, but I hope this is only a small percentage of people. Kind of like the people who pretend to be cops, and go full sheepdog. I don't know what is wrong with those people. They seem to think being a civil servant (playing cop) is "cool" or exciting in some way. It somehow elevates them in life because police have some kind of authority over people when they are wearing the uniform. But in reality they are just employees wearing a uniform, doing what they are told to do. They are not really superior to citizens in any real way. I'm pretty sure if they had to spend a few days being a REAL police officer they would hate the work. They just like the quasi-authority that the uniform would get them in certain situations so they can play cop and act out a fantasy on their own terms. I notice all those people who get busted for playing cop are always trying a traffic stop, or patrolling, or doing something that involves them flexing. Its never something like them parked in the street, directing traffic in the rain while wearing a reflective safety bib".

Threat of violence of any kind is a valid reason to use a firearm to stop the threat, either by displaying or by putting bullets downrange.

      You are correct. He tells you he's going to shoot you, walks towards you in low light with an object in his hand that has a shape and similar appearance of a weapon, You are completely justified in using deadly force to defend yourself if you are in fear for you're life. In this case tring to back up probably isn't an option because as far as you know he has a gun and can kill you before you can get far enough. He also had a passenger to worry about. Out of reflex I probably would have put the car in reverse and put a lot of distance between us. I had the same thing happen to me as a cop. I stopped a vehicle for active warrants. I had put my car in park. The driver hopped out with a pistol in hand. I backed up to create distance. He fired 3 rounds, only one hit my windshield. I spun my car around sideways, bailed out and returned fire putting him down. As a police officer I don't have the option of retreating. As a private citizen you do. You have no duty to fight some asshole. Even though you have no legal duty to retreat, but that doesn't mean it not a good idea if you can. You're only worry is saving you're life

    Such a great point about not being able to see what may be in people's hands. The first time I watched it I was convinced the aggressor was the one that fired the shot and that the camera missed the muzzle flash between frames or something.

      Yea good on you man, after all. Your body is ultimately a transitional space (Food regularly enters it), and a myocardial infarction is definitely a deadly threat, the best form of self defence is ultimately avoidance so loosing weight is most likely the most important self defence action anybody can ever possibly take (your more than 55 times more likely to die from that than being shot). Good job covering your asp/ heart.

      That is actually a judicious use of your arsenal. Turning the wheel left and gunning it would have suppressed the threat. If you insist on using your gun, you can always shoot through the windshield before the bumper sends him airborne, and then practice skeet shooting as he is flying. 😂

      On using the car.. I was thinking to put it in reverse as the truck driver gets out, holding cars stopped with brakes. When the guy threatens, and gets close to side of my car or window, gun the engine while turning the wheel hard-right. The left-front fender should shove/knock aggressor off feet. Then shift to 'D' and escape. Can't do this last-minute; have to plan/think ahead and shift to 'R' before the guy gets anywhere near my car.
