but did your wife report the incident to the police?

She didn't say anything about it. I dont think so. It was out in the boondocks - guess she could have called the state police and reported it but doubt anything would have come of it - unless she had someway to identify him and she hadn't gotten his license.

Was the gun registered

Wasn't required to be.

and was she trained in the safe usage of it?

Not professionally trained, though she knew how to fire it. Being an ER nurse I think she was mindful of dangers and could have handled a crisis situation. We didn't get along but I know she was a capable person.

She would have been in a pickle had she fired the gun and either wounded or killed the guy.....there were no witnesses, right?

Nope. Just him and her. As they say, better to be judged by 12 than carried by six. But frankly, I doubt a jury would be too tough on a woman shooting a stranger who stopped her on a highway at night.
