you are driving home in the middle of the night and see the same car behind you for an extended time. When you park in front of your apt, this same car pulls beside you

Number one thing, you DON'T GO HOME- why would you want to show them where you live if they are following you around? Make a couple of non-normal turns to confirm you really are being followed, then let them follow you to the closest cop shop or fire station. But DON'T GO HOME if you're being followed. There's more to this than just guns...

Even putting your hand on a CCW in a lot of places can still be called "brandishing." No need to put a hand on it till it's time to draw, and nothing you've described meets those criteria IMHO so far. That said, the main reason I pocket carry is that I CAN have a hand on the gun if things look bad for the home team- and still, no one can see it.

Train - practice - practice. Get training so you know what to practice, then practice till you can't get it wrong.
