[Rebeldon]

Once, when I was driving through an "urban" area at night, a man stepped out into the turn lane and tried to stop me as I merged into the lane to turn right. My first impression was that he was just drunk, so I slowed down to avoid him, but then it became clear to me that he was intentionally trying to stop my car. I was unable to change lanes because of the traffic to my left so I had to stop to avoid hitting him. It was at this point I put my hand on the grip of my Ruger P97. He made a quick move to the passenger side of my car and he tried to get a hold on my door handle. Since he was no longer in my way, I just floored it and left him standing there. If he had opened my door, I think I would have wet my pants. And then think I would have shot him. He may have been drunk or strung out on drugs, but I don’t think he had anything wrong with him that a cranialectomy could not have cured.
