Yeah, the advice I’m getting leans that way. Didn’t argue, didn’t escalate. He told me off and I just took it. My internal emotional response should be obvious. Just wish it would have been convenient to have my CCW on me and not be worried about my job should I have forgotten and carried it in to work. The laws favor the criminals.
I’m sorry if I came across as criticizing your response. You are not to blame one iota for that situation. My point is you can’t reason with dysfunctional people like that. Most of the time it’s best to just ignore or get away from them.
