A guy stumbles into you at the mall, he's had a really scrappy day, you snap at him to watch where he's going.

So he shoves you and yells at you, promises to kick you ass to the end of the planet, stands in your face and yells at you, and you are actually wondering if you might be hurt if it escalates.

Seriously, what is your response?it doesn't seem from the post that you're a turn your back and walk away guy. Do you have mace or a stun gun, or are you the kind of guy who draws a gun because some guy yelled at you, called you names, and made a probably idle threat?

It's kind of a bad idea to decide what your response will be before a situation arises that DOESN'T call for deadly force.
