Ok its fathers day about 11:30 pm. And I notice a strange car parked outside half in my driveway. I live on a dead end street with only four driveways. So I have a good idea of all the cars my neighbors have. This one I've never seen here before. So I turn on my lamppost, and the car is still idling there. I get my superbright tactical flashlight and shine it out the window. The car flashes its headlights a couple times?? wierd. Then a few minutes later the car goes into reverse and rolls forward about 10 ft. and actually softly hits a car parked in front of it, then stalls. Car starts back up again still in reverse. This time revving up high and moving back real slow. And backs up into the old widows drive way and sets parking brake. I think this is starting to get really weird. Im not sure if this is some kinda stake out or what, just strange. I know that Ive never seen company over at this lady's house and all her lights are out. I dont think Ill be able to just go to bed with looking into it.
Now Im getting geared up to have a look. I get my holster on my belt. load my .38, and get my light. I walk up to the driveway beam the light in thru their windshield. I see its a young man driving with a young woman passenger. Car looks like a dark colored ford probe with Massachusettes plates. Dont remember the plate number
So I walk up to the passenger side door and the woman rolls it down. I ask what their up to, as I get hit in the face with a cloud of pot smoke. The driver asks me what im doing there? Huh?? I repeat the question and he says, "I live here". I say,"no you dont"! Then the woman says that she is the daughter of one of my other neighbors and that the widow has let them park there before during the winter snow ban. She says she told him to back in there. I was gonna tell them to head out. But the guy is getting outa the car walking around the front and marching right up to me fast spouting some garbage. He looked like the classic wangster, pants around the knees black and white scarface t-shirt thats 8 sizes too big for him. Walking like he thought he was Tony Montana. I wasnt sure if he was planning to shove me or talk some smack with his face right in mine? So I stoped his intimidation tactic by stepping back into the light and patting my hand on my holster a few times. He exclaims,"You got a gun"? "Your packin"?? "Welll I got a gat too"! "Your not the only one with a gat"! "Thinking your the big man with the gun". I say to him that, he had better not take it out or I'll shoot him. So he starts cursing and pretending to shoot me with his finger (sideways). At this point my adrenaline is pumping im standing like the guy in High Noon with my hand over my gun ready to draw. thinking of all the variables the woman is outa the car begging him to stop and trying to calm him down, but she is outa the way. I focus on his chest, there is nothing behind him but my driveway and garage. I see myself shooting him twice in the pecs. Ready to draw on him if he really does lift up his shirt or reach into his pocket. But he doesnt. So I decide to head back. But ive got to walk by him to get to my place. There are some bushes on the side so I have to walk within a couple feet of him. So I beam him in the eyes as I walk past in an attempt to keep him from trying anything. He says,"OHH you got a flashlight, I got one of those". "You aint the only one with a flashlight". then he says,"you better walk away", in a softer tone now. I turn around and tell them to clear out or ill call the police. He says,"go ahead call the police and tell them that your running around pulling a gun on ppl". "YEAH I know all about the gun laws". "You cant go around like that carrying a gun". I say,"I never drew my gun". "Yeah you did". I turn to the woman who is now coming up to me appologizing profusely. I ask her if she saw me draw my gun, she says,"no". ( just wanted to make sure that the story was straight that I did not draw on him. I think that is a fellony) About this time the womans father is coming outside to see what all the shouting is about. Wangster starts telling the guy that I pulled a gun on him. I say That,"This isnt Massachusettes". "I can open carry a gun in new hampshire, and I never drew on him". He calls his daghter inside. and Mr. Montana gets in his car and tears off, bottoming out really bad on the dip and the end of the driveway. I go inside and try to go to sleep, took me a few hoursthough to doze off.
So what do you guys/ Gals think?? I respect that you have allot of insight into these kinda things. Did I handle this right or wrong?? I think maybe I should have just called the police? Maybe he would have been arrested depending on how much green he had.
