If someone is seriously giving you enough of a problem that you brandish a CCW weapon (after repeated warnings to them to just go away) and you call the police first, I'm not exactly sure that you'd get in trouble. Besides, Ms. Himain is an attractive woman and garners more than her share of unwanted attention, I suspect.
Then again, getting my CCW permit is the one thing I have left to do.
Once in the Marines, we were coming back to the barracks after doing a late night convy. Most of the people in my unit had to do it but a handful got to stay in. It was like 3 am and we were all heading back to our rooms tired and dirty. Someone in my room (not my roomate, just a bum) decide we were being too loud. Now, let me just say there were at least a dozen of us in my room and outside the halls just talking and shooting the s h i t. Well, he decides to kick me for some reason and tell me to shut up. I'm guessing because I was the smallest guy there. So of course we get into it but get broken up. The End.
New law here in FL that if you feel threatened for any reason, you are allowed to pull out your weapon to defend yourself and obviously it helps ALOT if you have a CCW to back up the fact that you are carrying something
You're welcome. I'm sure we don't have a law like that on the books here in NM, but there may be soon. IDK, have yet to go and get take a CCW course/get licensed- my shorty .45 needs a new set of sights first, and I don't want to be the dolt that shows up with a sightless gun.

Just a heads up from someone who else lives in Florida that you need to be careful with that one. The flip side to that law is that when someone starts flashing a gun it elevates the whole game and the other person, who may also have a gun, can now make a serious case for feeling their life is in danger.
Just something to keep in mind. I always tell people here that it's a great state for concealed carry but if they're going to brandish or pull their weapon they better make sure they're prepared to use it and be on sound legal footing.
Actually, once about 15 years ago. Not a fight, but an altercation nonetheless.
I got on an elevator in the lobby of my ancient office building and this crotchety old man got on after me. Everybody hated this guy because he was really an a-hole. As the elevator door was about to close, my biz partner came through the building's front door and said, "Hold the elevator." Since elevators were incredibly slow in that building, I held the door open so that he could make the five-second walk across the lobby.
The crotchety old man said, "Close that door NOW!" and started to shove me. I got really pissed, so I shoved him all the way back across the elevator. My biz partner couldn't believe it. The old man said nothing else.
To this day I can't believe that I got in a shoving match with a 70-year-old man. The only time I've ever gotten into anything resembling a fight in my entire life. I feel bad about it, but the idiot started matters.
