So, tonight I was assaulted in broad daylight, because a couple of thugs wanted to make a statement in front of a crowd. Long story short, I walked my girlfriend to the car after going out. As soon as I get her in the car, the two guys approach me. One video taping the situation and one getting in my face about, whatever he was upset about.
My girlfriend did well, she locked the door and got 911 ready to dial on her phone. I got head butted directly in the mouth, while she was doing that. I pushed the guy away and got in the car and locked the doors. The guy kicked and threw chunks of concrete at the driver door (I was in the dicier seat.) and damaged the car pretty badly.
I'll be honest, my pride is a little hurt right now, and I am in need of guidance and/or reassurance (if applicable).
My questions are:
Did I respond correctly by avoiding the fight? Or should I have fought back?
I am now putting much more thought into a concealed carry weapon. Probably a small caliber loaded with fmjs. (I want to defuse situations if need be, not kill the guy with one shot)
Should we contact the insurance company immediately, or wait in hopes of catching the bad guy and pressing charges?
What could/should I have done differently or better?
