Walking home one evening when I was 15 I had a car full of gangsters pull up next to me and put a shotgun to my head. They demanded money, I told them I didn't have any, they told me to get the fuck off the street and pulled away. They dropped the shotgun 50 yards in front of me. I ran for it and quickly decided they were going to get to it faster so I took off through a townhouse complex.
i think ive told this story before but here goes
my super libitard brother was visiting from jersey.....to piss him off i OCd the entire time he hates guns told me i was stupid to carry one etc etc

so we pull into the gas station i pump my gas and am at the counter getting my change when my brother goes oh shit here he comes.....this nut must have gone down the street and decided he wanted a fight! so he hops out of his car and shoves the door open comes charging over to me all puffed up as he is doing this i pivot around he looks at my hip sees my old xd and just DEFLATES
"sir i just wanted to apologize for my wife she was beeping the horn and yelling"
"bitches be crazy"

Feeling a shotgun barrel against your throat as you are hooking up a car..
Repo's aren't fun.....
A couple of other occasions......
Iraq 1991
Other then active duty...
2 times when I lived in Las Vegas, one time some drunk walked into my living room and sat down in my recliner while me and the wife were getting ready to go out. From the sound of the door, the footsteps then the squeak of the chair I knew it was one person and where he was, I thought about grabbing the shotty but thought no it would be funner to beat him unfortunately he was to fast to catch.
I jogged every night like 10pm when I was in the DEP after my night school at the community college. I always carried a Springfield mil spec 1911. One night when running down Flamingo by the Gold coast some shits drove by and shot me with a paintball gun, at first I thought it was real from the pain and the splatter at night haha. Right after they shot me the stop light turned red about 20 yds away and traffic was so busy they couldnt go anywhere. I bet they never pulled that shit again, we had a little come to god style meeting.
Neighbor kid with a new BB gun... shot out the bathroom window as I was exiting the shower.
.22LR Flyer from Nowhere in the Right Bicep.
3 Armed Robberies at Shotgun Point... Retail in an Isolated Location during Christmas... they still would not let me carry so I walked... Filed Reports and Testified against all 3 perps... Repeat Offenders... All 3 Still in Canon City, to my knowledge.
Couple of Bangers driving North on I25 by Speer Waving a Flashy Chrome Automatic at traffic... Followed... Phoned Cops... Watched 'em get busted... Testified... Little S**ts got probation.
As I stood to stretch after a weapons cleaning session, before I could react, ex-girlfriend grabs my 3" .357, freshly cleaned and reloaded, off of the kitchen table, sweeps it across me (front to back) saying, "This trigger is too hard to p..." BOOM! She shot & killed the stove (thru & thru... lodged in the cabin's log wall... slug probably still there).. muzzle flash scorched my jeans on my wallet pocket... Bullet cut the stitching on the pocket, too... took 3 hours to find the cat... The cat was never the same about loud noises.
Other then active duty...
At work, I was a contractor for Comcast doing an install at some apartments in Fort Collins. When I walked in I seen the Beretta 92 and a bunch of knives on the floor by a sleeping bag. I didn't think much of it because most people I know keep a gun by the bed and I figured he was just moving in and didn't have furniture yet. While hooking up the cable and internet he started telling about his wife running off with some dirt bag, she turned his kids against him, and the final nail was identity theft. That's when he started waiving the gun around and going ballistic! He said they cleaned out everything he ever had and more. He bought the gun recently (not a gun guy) to protect himself because he thought it was his wife hiring people to do him in. I wasn't sure I would make it out of there before he went completely off the deep end!
Their have been a couple times working in greeley that customers (gangsters) had shown some firepower, but nothing really scary. I had the swat team show up at a job i was at a couple years ago. I had a guy go ballistic at some apartments a couple weeks ago and start kicking in doors but he didn't have a gun, 911 sent the fire dept instead of the cops do to his history of mental health problems?
My 2nd wife and I stopped to take a leak at a rest stop in Michigan on our way home after we got done shooting a wedding(I am a photographer) at about midnight. I wnr into the mens room and was in midstream when I heard someone come out of the stall and walk behind me. I then heard him say something, I couldn't quite hear him so I said "what?" and turned my head into an old revolver sticking in my face, he said don't turn around and give me your money. I reached into my pocket and gave him my $7 I had. He ran out and jumped into a car and took off. I could tell what sort of car it was by the tail lights. We called the cops and told them what happened. They caught them about 2 hours later after they were observed at a gas station with three of them standing around the gas tank in the car. they saw the cops and took off with their lights off, of course the cops didn;t like that and chased them until they crashed. They called me at about 3:30AM to have me come down to look at some articles of clothing they were wearing, I IDed them as what I saw him wearing. I never got nervous, for some reason i just didn;t affect me like it should have. Funny thing is this was in Jackson MI. and they were from Kalamazoo and wanted to go to Chicago in a stolen car from Kalamazoo. They went about 100 miles the wrong way east on I-94 instead of west towards Chicago. Dumb shits!
Back when I lived in Minnesota I had a friend that lived in North Minneapolis aka the ghetto... gangland.. whatever you want to call it, definitely no where I have been in Denver comes close to it. We stopped at his place on New Years Eve to pick a few things up while on our way up to Duluth to party. We were walking out to his truck in the alley and heard a bunch of shots to our right and looked over and about 4 houses down was a group of (use whatever term you like) shooting their guns at something.. I'm sure they were not shooting at us and likely didn't see us but it scared the shit out of us anyway.
That's about it though..
ETS 1988
Gulf War 1990
Actually, bullet whizzed by hunting Whitetail in Wisconsin one season when I was a lad.
Mmmm, closest after that was probably numerous muzzle sweeps in the Military by dumbass remfs.
(I was a remf too, but not a dumbass)
