Thus far, we're all in agreement that drawing a gun would in that situation would be inappropriate.
So, without further dodging on your part, and without changing the scenario to help you avoid answering (because I could just say "Well, what if 20 of my Hell's Angels friends are with me?"), what would be the appropriate response?

What you call dodging is what I call reasoning. The presence of a gun when someone spits on your daughter should not be an influence. That it is, supports my view that the presence of a gun can escalate any situation disproportionately.
I would probably tell him to fuck off and get my kids away from the situation.
Firstly so they may not be caught up in further unpleasantness and secondly so they don’t have to witness their father turn into some macho asshole who cant contain himself and has to make public displays of heroism to confirm his manhood. Some may see that as cowardice I know but I will live with that.

I don't believe you have the first fucking clue regarding what's required of those who carry weapons, what the law is regarding assaults, the concept of escalation of force, etc. You grasp none of it.
But I'm enjoying watching you belch up your silly bullshit.
"Yell at them".
That's the funniest fucking thing I've read all night... |
What isn’t funny is how you believe it is quite acceptable, even preferable to carry on like a high school jock in front of ones kids to show how tough daddy is and risk the confrontation potentially turning lethal rather than leave what is a reasonably trivial matter and protect from any real harm.

How about letting' me know when you're done changing up your little fantasy scenario.
I imagine they're quite similar.
The guy would still get stomped into a shitty mudhole...
There was some homeless guy walking through the parking lot at the post office today. I got out of my truck and he began to unleash a verbal barrage at me. I ignored him and walked on into the post office. Had he spit on me, I'd have beaten him until he stopped bleeding...
