My wife even admitted that had I been out there and confronted him about how he was talking to her, he would have tried to hit me. "
Had I been dressed, I'd have had the gun on, and I would imagine the whole encounter would have gone much more pleasantly; but I didn't, because ripped out pajama pants can't support my holster, let alone my gun. I don't think I would have even needed to motion or make mention of it. It cools people out, and sadly the first time I really could have used it was one of the few times I couldn't wear it.
1fastc4, I don't really know what you're huh-ing about. I was trying to make the point that the guy was just some hothead thug, my wife figured that had I been out there, we would have gotten in a fight; apparently she wants to see me get in a fight. I dunno, I'm confused about the whole situation, her yelling at me for not being out there to rumble with this guy, instead of just keeping cool and letting him walk off.
And as far as mentioning or motioning to gun, zero times, thankfully. But I do stand in a way where it would be nearly impossible to not notice it if you were eyeballing me and sizing me up getting ready to try and get in a fight. If I thought he still didn't notice at that point, I'd back up a few steps and announce the fact that I feel highly threatened and am armed. Beyond that, sure, I could personally retreat, because I'm athletic enough to hop our fence, but there were 4 other people there, including my wife and neigbor, whom I would protect if it came to that.
God willing, it never comes to a point anywhere past it just sitting it my holster and lightening up the situation.
I wasn't trying to come across as terse or anything in my post. Just wanted to clear it all up, because I honestly didn't know if you were huh-ing about the situation or my reaction or what.

As far as the OP... I fail to see how any kind of a side arm would have prevented anything? Once a d*ckhead neighbor always a d*ckhead. All you would have done was alert the neighborhood syndicate as to were the gun stash/next score is. Kind of like cleaning a rifle in your front yard. For the world to see.
