Not fantasizing in the slightest. When you carry you have to be more inclined to step away from stupid situations because the alternative is not good. No way was I going to get into a fist fight over a parking spot. And if I did and it escalated, it would go poorly on me for being armed.
Also, in recent years in my line of work I've come across more and more people with gang affiliation even folks in their 40s and 50s or higher. So you never know whom you are interacting with and how far they are willing to go. I carry to stop a situation not start one.
The point was this guy had no idea who he was dealing with nor whether that person was armed. For all he knew I was willing to go all in over a parking spot so being a douche was a risky move.
