I've been in more than a couple of confrontations, and the majority of the time (if I was a little more level headed) I could have and should have diffused the situation by walking away, letting the guy pass or whatever.
I bet the hot headed stranger in D2D's story is likely able to get a conceal and carry permit. Maybe we should all carry. Of course if I had a gun and the other guy did too, in many of the situations I've been in someone would have been shot (once you see a gun it's life or death).
The upside is I've always felt a lot better when I have just let it go. Telling off the A^^% never made me feel better.
