Later he was arrested at home.

Ever since, I imagine the same experience with someone with a gun (concealed carry is legal in MO). It's not worth our lives.

My advice. Just give it up and be a man. Let it slide.

Nope. Definiately not my experience. I got run off the road in Bolton, Massachusetts. Phoned Bolton police, gave description and license plate #. Got mugged for it. Gave them names and addresses of three witnesses (two of them physicians who were passing by). Bolton cop called me back hours later and told me it wasn't their problem: I was on my own with the matter. Swine.

I am now licensed to carry concealed large.

I will not just bend over and "take it like a man."
