I was crossing a road at a cross walk where I had the Walk sign (and there is an electronic "No turn on red" sign at that point). The guy came around the corner without stopping (violation #1), through the no turn on red sign (violation #2), nearly hitting me in the process. I turned and yelled at him since the window was open and had my hand near my pistol cuz I had no idea if he was going to continue to run me over (sorta violation #3). He looked pretty scared. I continued to walk and he tried to go around me where upon he almost hit me AGAIN (sorta violation #4). If he had hit me and I was capable I'd have drawn at the guy.
The guy behind him turned as well.... *sigh*. I think I'm going to stand at that intersection with a video camera and open carry and record everyone who runs the light.... of course the police can't do anything unless they witness it....so maybe it's useless.

Well, if somebody did try to run you over then the police CAN do something about it. It’s called vehicular assault and could be even worse depending on their intent.
If you really think they were trying to run you down, you should have called 911.
If, however, you think that they were just trying to get around you and were scared of your gun, then you have encountered one of the issues that everybody who carries openly has to put up with every day – A SHEEP!
