I have sat calmly in my truck, listening to all the things this guy said he was going to do to me, all the while with a .45 in my lap, knowing it wasn't going to turn out that way at all. Remaining calm wasn't cooling things down, so I had to get angry to get his attention. Then we could both stare each other down and reach some sort of truce, and he didn't have to know about my .45 and I didn't have to find out what he had in his truck.
I had thought before to remain calm and let it wear down, but that just empowers/infuriates some people. Any psychological ideas for handling tense situations?
The .45 removes the fear. I was fearing for him. How do I bring this guy down emotionally without having to use the gun. Holding the door shut was my defense move, not real macho, but effective. Ace
