No reason to second guess yourself on this one. I have done the same thing myself on two occasions in the past.
Enjoy the day with your family.

You did the right thing. At a traffic stop I always leave enough space between me and the vehicle in front in case I need to evade. It's never happened, but I have the option. Call me a pessimist, but after getting screwed over by people by me being a Good Samaritan, I treat everyone I don't know as if they have AIDS.

If I had been in your shoes, my heart would have been pounding pretty fast. I don't know that a gun would have helped the situation. Good job on making the right choice! Have a wonderful holiday.![]()

So, Ray, that was you. Thanks a lot for the help. While rushing the wife to the hospital, that unexpectantly went into labor, my car blew a tire and went into a ditch & got stuck.
I wasn't prepared for the weather due to the emergency, so I pulled my hood up and put my hands in the front pockets to stay warm.
When I saw a pick up pull up to the traffic signal, I ran up to it shouting "call an ambulance, my wife is having a baby ! "
But as I got close, the pick up roared off through a red signal nearly running my toes over........
Just joking Ray,. You don't need a CCW to have a handgun in your car for self protection.

What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?
