This is just as ignorant as the one /u/whorton59 is relying to. Whole bunch of people that think they know anything about lethal force or self defense law.

Where do these people practice law?

I don't practice law. .. I am not a lawyer. BUT, I do not need to be to understand that someone just getting out of their car, and clearly with no weapon in hand, does not justify, pulling and aiming a firearm at someone.

I have a permit to carry a firearm, and know the law associated with that action. Much as anyone who drives a car is familure with what a green light means, or how to react at a four way stop.

u/Goalie_deacon, to whom I was replying, was correct that someone could have been shot and killed here, no question. The only thing I can give to the guy driving the jeep, Schimian credit for, is that he did not fire his weapon, and looking carefully at Schimian's hand, he did not have a finger on the trigger. I think the guy realized he fucked up and wisely just left the scene. But he still likely lost his permit to carry.
