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...He looked pretty scared. I continued to walk and he tried to go around me where upon he almost hit me AGAIN...If he had hit me and I was capable I'd have drawn at the guy...The guy behind him turned as well...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.

This is a very different statement than your title and opening post suggest, and sounds more accurate, to me. Others have taken issue with your consideration of deadly force in reaction to a failure to yield and near accident. I'm interested in hearing the open carry issue you wanted to discuss?
