You gave your son a valuable lesson that day.

I told him a fishing trip isn't worth hurting or killing someone over - unless he threatens us again - then all bets are off. The smart thing was to defuse the situation and walk away...much like a rattle snake usually slithers away rather than biting.....

he was out of pistol range while we were on the water...
At first I thought you were on the water. The reading again, I thought you were bank fishing cause that's the only reason I can think of that he ran you off the river.
If you were in a boat and 40 yards away, how did he threaten you on the river? Was it just yelling?
I ask in all curiousness.

I think you handled the situation w/ great restraint and good judgment instead of allowing testosterone to dictate your actions. You got out of a potentially dangerous situation w/o bodily injury to you or your son and didn't have to deal w/ the aftermath that would've occurred if you had responded physically. Congrats.

That tragic news story is a testament to how well you managed the earlier conflict. Kudos!
