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.

Thanks for explaining - I understand better what you were getting at.

To Seahawk's comment about the "under 30 mindset" I'm not sure what or who he was referring to, or what that means, but if it was me I'm pushing 50
