[QUOTE="Stretch, post: 624540, member: 412"] This is probably the shittiest part about the whole deal. At the end of the day, this whole thought process being part of the "What If" changes the face of self defense because we actually have to question those repercussions. Not the standard repercussions of "was the shooting justified and in self defense", because the race card changes everything in society today. Every day I have to drive through the shittiest part of my town where hood actions are the norm. There was a drive by shooting that claimed the life of a high school kid just down the road. I drive by the house on the way to work every day and the family still hasn't had the means to fix the bullet holes in the siding of their house. I haven't passed a single white person standing outside of one of those homes or waiting at a bus stop on that road in the 6 months I have been driving it. Yet I carry every single day. That same "what if" race card scenario has played out in my head a few times before after one guy on that road ran a stop sign, cutting me off, flipped me the bird, sped off then looked back when his dumbass ended up at the next light with me and made a "finger gun" and glared at me. Because at first glance, all I saw was something pointing at me with someone staring me down and I immediately grabbed my pistol off my console, but didn't show the weapon because I realized he was just being a ****ing thug. I think you made the right call by leaving your gun holstered and not drawing on them. Your family wasn't the immediate threat, even IF you were being the good samaritan in that situation. No room for doubt. Now if one of those shitbags had even reached toward the door of your vehicle I would have not hesitated to end a life. [/QUOTE]
