As a resident of Edmonton which is a three hour drive north of Calgary, I feel bad you that to had to experience a negative encounter such as this. Being a policeman you likely projected a superior attitude which the two dudes likely could not handle. It was great that nothing came of it. Conversely if you were in the US where there are more guns and if you had a concealed gun in a similar situation and they had a gun/guns would the outcome be the same?

Fortunately nothing came of it. Normally the violence in our cities involves, knives, fist fights etc but guns can still be involved. The last supposed violence I "experienced" was back in 1984 and some drunk idiot was hanging out of a half ton truck and wanted a fight. He got out of the truck and followed me.While he was falling over cars at a red lite, I went into Macdonalds and he decided I was not worth pursuing.
