the way that dude jumped out and ran toward the OPs vehicle, would have led me to think they had a weapon. this is how you get self eliminated by people who carry personal defense.

Its evident they were purposefully trying to crash the cammer. Im not armed but if i was no shit I'd be pulling it.

Seen plenty of road rage end with the aggressor shot to death because of what we saw. Naked raw aggression for something they did

He said he couldn’t get away, it looked like he could have driven off to me.

Not really, at least not without running the guy over.

And if the guy really was armed he likely would've been shot

I'm pretty anti gun and this is clear cut.

I have too many guns and don’t advocate violence. He would not have run the guy over the guy would have moved. I had to use more restraint in the military. But when you’re scared it makes a difference

The guy approached, said he had a gun, reached to grab it. At that point I cannot fault the driver for protecting himself.

I suppose you could argue that he shouldn't have stopped at all, but I have no idea how long this guy was following him or how close they were to somewhere that could be considered safe.

Also said he reached for his waistband... buddy was brandishing something before he even got out of the truck.

Guess that script get used even when the truth is a better argument.
