I am calling BS on you. No one and I mean no but a psycho would not get a rush from almost pulling his gun.

I am sure you where so cold and mindlessly ready to kill. Watch your BS buddy. Some people around here have been in fights with bullets flying.
The calmness and cold emotion can and does happen to folks. Military training has a way of making that happen for you.

When I had a guy get out of his vehicle at a stop light after throwing objects at us because h thoguht I cut him off and i tried to wave him off and say Im sorry, when infact he made an illegal alne change and almost hit me. I had the entire fam in the car and I unholstered when he was walking toawrds the vehicle, wife was on the phone with 911 and I had the window cracked and forcefully told him to get back in his vehicle. I was calm and cool and knew what had to be done if he tried to gain entry. He saw the 1911 on my lap and started talking tough for a moment then realized I was dead serious about my intent if he escalated things further and went back to his vehicle. I filed a police report and the detective I was talking to was on my side and said if that douche was anywhere else in Denver,this was in Arvada, he would probably have been shot and it would have been justified by his previous actions and his actions by getting out and advancing on our vehicle. For those that say, just drive off, I was stopped in traffic and in the middle lane and vehicles on all sides. SOmething I dont allow myself to get pinned in to often anymore.
My wife was scared shitless cuz she saw the cold emotionless face I had and how calm I really was. She thought for sure I was going to kill that guy if he did anything stupid. The fact I didnt point it at him or even put my hand on the grip, my firing hand was on my thigh waiting for him to do something was waht the Detective said I did things right.He understood why i had it on my lap as I was backed into a corner so to speak and knew I wanted to be ready for anything. My military training kicked in as to reacting to the situation and staying calm and cool during the altercation. About 10 misn after when reality set in, adrenaline starting kicking in and thats when I kinda lost my cool cuz all I could think of was my kids seeing me shoot a person centermass and killing them on the street. My kids mental state worried more then anything.
