Poll of the Day > Have you ever been threatened with a gun before?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Never been threatened by one but I'm pretty sure someone tried to intimidate me with one. That was back when I was fucking around with the wrong kind of people just to buy a bag of weed. That guy ended up taking my money and disappearing. So glad it's legal in my state now.

Me, no, but my great-grandfather had a gun pulled on him by a doctor. He calmly pulled out a knife and slit the guy's belly open.

My grandfather lived by himself for a while when he was a kid. His schoolmates would sometimes sneak around his farm and try to scare him. One night he heard someone outside so he grabbed his double-barrelled shotgun (loaded with rock salt) and ran outside. The kids scattered into the corn field so he raised the shotgun and in his excitement accidentally pulled both triggers. Two 12 gauge barrels going off simultaneously knocked him flat on his ass, but he heard a yelp in the distance. They never bothered him again after that.

I hope that I never live to have the experience. My father and brothers are hunters but they've never unloaded those guns inside or pointed them at anyone other than what they're hunting (they were taught better).

My grandfather had the opposite case. Guy pulled a knife on him so he shot him. Something about betting on a game of pool and dude was a sore loser.
