I wonder if he was a cop?

I guess it's possible, but my first instinct is no. If he was a cop, the gun should have been properly holstered and not tucked into the front of his jeans.

Maybe you'll get lucky and someone will be aggressive against you and you can shoot them?

I wonder if he was a cop? Why not, Zimmerman did. You should have gotten your gun, then you could have had a good old fashioned shoutout like they did in the wild Wild West. Think of the adrenali

actually, it does matter. he cannot provoke an incident and then use the fear for his life mantra.

You just can't get pissed off and jump and run up and start punching someone in a car, no matter what the person said to you.

I can put myself in the same situation. Actually I was on the other end, Merging on Highway and other person got pissed and we were honking and cussing and we pulled over on shoulder and I was pretty hot and I got out and approached his car, He pulled a pistol on me. So I stopped, I considered for a moment to get back to my car and get my gun but figured it wasn't worth it.

I did analyze the situation afterwards and came to the conclusion if he would of shot me it would of been my fault.....

Actually, if his gun was already drawn, he would likely have killed you before you went and retrieved yours.

It's sad that arguing on the road is a cause for death. Equally sad that someone provokes an incident and ends up killing someone when they responded.

Actually if had shot at me while I approached it was my fault, Once I saw the gun about 12 feet away I stopped and then returned to my car, IF he had taken a shot at me while I was going back to my car then I would of probably fetched my gun if I was able.

Lucky it just a story now.

It's still a shame that a shootout is an acceptable answer in this situation.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

Why get out of the vehicle?

The content available on a site dedicated to bringing folks to America should not be promoting racial discord, euro-supremacy, discrimination based on religion , exclusion of groups from immigration based on where they were born, disenfranchisement of voters rights based on how they might vote.

As much as I agree with the last part(folks are way too eager to shoot someone) what should have taken place is the guy shouldn't have used a racial slur. He provoked the dude then shot him when he reacted.
