Let's keep in mind thathitting someone with a car is battery, and threatening them with a car is assault. So the woman has possibly assaulted HSMITH with the carand continues with a verbal assault after parking. Fortunately, no injuriesoccurred from the initial assault, and HSMITH acted appropriately by doing nothing.
Even given that, had she continuedher unarmed approach, I have a hard time imagining ANY situation where I would drawon her. Drawing your weapon assumes you are prepared to fire and this doesn't pass that test for me.
Even ifshe was beating on the g/f with a cane I'd likely try to pull her offinstead of brandishingand/or using a weapon. There are an awful lot ofserious consequences involved.What if it was a huge 'roid-raging male bodybuilder? What if the it was a huge 'roid-raging female bodybuilder? What if she was a little old granny?
Actually my first though was that I'd run away beforeshe got too close. I don't mess with crazy people.
