The other day a driver ran through a stop sign at about 40 mph. This was about 30 feet in front of me in a

I yelled "hey!". Nothing more.

The driver (male) slammed on the brakes, jumped out the car and came rushing at me with fists clenched.

This dude was hopped up on something and was ready to take me out.

Long story short, after he picked up my bike and threw it, he realized there were people watching and yelling
at him about calling the police, he took off.

So what would you have done? Do you carry any kind of weapon or even pepper spray?

Just curious. I am not really sure what I should do.
I ignore bad people as much as possible. But, I do carry, I have a CCL. I also carry MACE in a holster. I have a fanny pack the LCR .357 rides in. That said, I would rather get beat up than use it. Beat up, but not murdered. I draw the line there and it is my thinking that counts. Frankly, after having been attacked by pit bull "type" dogs and resulting in a femur broken in three places, people are lower on my fear list, dogs are at the top.
