Why he got out of the car with a drawn pistol is.....um.....questionable. Need more data to know for sure. Probably a mistake, especially since it took him away from his phone.
I'm still wondering whatthe guys werearrested for, especially Mr. Knife Wielder. That seems important.
I'd like to read more details. We've only gotten a first single accont of the incident. There is more involved, I'm sure.
Finally, this was no "attempted car jacking." It wa a crime, but it wasn't that one. Maybe I'm missing something...

Sounds to me that OP may have instigated the conflict a bit.This is one of those great situations for discussion that worked out well where the OP didn't do anything wrong but could have done things differently (not right - just different). If Tyler had stayed in the car it very much could have ended up in a "have to shoot" situation, which it didn't. So he gets out and the guy is within 21'. Keep the door open and between you? What if he rushes and slams you between the door & car body? That isn't good. Retreat far enough to get the car between you and him? Maybe not feasible and retreat could be construed as cowardice leading to an attack and the necessity of a firing.
