MAVsled,

If I was part of your jury, you'd be a free man. You're in a pretty defenseless position seatbelted in your cab. You warned him, he disregarded the warning. What happens to him after that seems justified to me. No doubt it's a good thing the incident didn't end with the death or serious injury of anybody involved. Normal trips to Costco with the wife can get expensive, hopefully you can make this shopping trip so expensive he won't forget it for a long time. If you are hurting, see your doctor and get any injuries treated and documented. Then call Todd the Mod to see how many rvrfshr spinners you can buy for $20,000, plus medical expenses, pain and suffering, emotional trauma, time and mileage, future earnings, dry cleaning, etc.

I was in a home invasion situation which was extremely threatening to myself and my family. 911 was called first, and then I warned the Charles Manson look a like that I was armed and ready to shoot him IF he entered my home. During the second 911 call I told the dispatcher I was prepared to shoot the would be intruder...the rifle was loaded and the safety was off. The police showed up promptly, to make sure I didn't get away. Actually, they hauled the perp away and I didn't have to repair a bullet riddled broken down door. Didn't have to clean blood and assorted tissues from the walls, floors, and ceiling, didn't traumatize my family for the rest of their lives, and didn't become the subject of a 20/20, 48 Hours, or Dateline report. You reported a surprising calmness during your incident. I couldn't believe the focus I experienced during mine.
