t00f posted this in the "Man shot 18 times" thread and it is bugging me:

About a year ago I was on the street next to Xavier going around that last left before turning right on Carrollton and this guy gets halfway into my lane and I did a quick honk. At the red light he gets out of his car and comes at me.



WWTOTD here:

What if the above scenario happens while you're unarmed with wife and baby in the car. You're boxed in by traffic/curb/median on all sides (including his car in front of you). He's now exited his vehicle and is approaching your window. What do you do?

Show him your gun and make eye contact.

If he goes for his, he is out of his car and is the aggressor. If so, kill him.

For whatever reason you don't have your gun with you on this particular car ride.

The sound of racking that 870 makes everyone polite.

IMO, never get out of the car

Let him kick your fender and cuss while your wife calls 911.

Obviously if he's somehow going to be a threat to your family from outside, you may have to disregard, but the chances of deescalation are almost certainly higher by staying in the car with your family.

I carry in my car but would be wary to pull it out unless I left threatened

What if he approaches the passenger side of the vehicle closer to my family? I'm gonna have a HARD time not exiting.

Did you not read the thread about the guy and old lady in the subway? You keep it real and kick that bitch in the head while your girlfriend films it. Then post that shite on the internet for everyone to enjoy.

Don’t get caught in the situation. Nothing pisses me off more when the initiator flips someone off then acts like a little bitch when he gets confronted. If you’re not ready to throw hands, don’t test me!

What any real man should do: lock the doors so you can hide in your car and illegally brandish a weapon

Calmly get out of your car, remove all of your clothing, and wave him in like The Rock.

It's a judgment call, and I don't blame you. Of course, if you get out and get stabbed by some nut you haven't really done your family any favor.

I think my personal thought process would be whether I genuinely fear for my wife/kid or whether I'm prideful and want to teach some douche a lesson. Which also happens to align fairly well with legal standards you may confront if shite spirals.
