[QUOTE="rawhide, post: 1069006, member: 3448"] Was recently reading on another forum a post from someone who was confronted with an aggressive, angry man relating to a road rage incident. The person with the CCW successfully defused the situation and the aggressor got in his vehicle and left. In the story he posted he stated that [U]he warned the man he was armed[/U]. This got me to thinking: Is it legally or tactically a good move to warn a potential attacker that you are armed? Putting myself in the situation he described (the angry man had a knife in a sheath on his belt and had approached to about 10 yards) I thought the warning was a good strategy. It probably was key in convincing the aggressor to move on. Good idea? Bad idea? I know situations will vary. Don't recall seeing this discussed before and inquiring minds want to know what others think? [/QUOTE]
