    Default Social experiment

    So, I'm looking for the experiences of those of you with no military or law enforcement background in a couple of areas. Just for the sake of a little social experiment for my own knowledge. Please keep the replies short and simple.

    Have you ever had a firearm intentionally pointed at you for any reason or had shots fired at you?

    Have you ever intentionally pointed a firearm at or shot at another human being?

    I'll go first....

    I had two police officers draw their weapons on me once but have not been shot at.

    I have never pointed a weapon towards another human being much less fired a shot at a person.

    I've had cops (swat) have their weapons drawn on me when I accidentally set off an alarm after hours at a bank.

    Never pointed a firearm at anyone.

    I have had at least 5 or more officers point there guns at me one time. Never been shot at.

    I have never pointed a gun at anyone or shot at anyone, and hope I never will.

    Yes, robbed at gunpoint on Black Friday back in '93 at my video games store in Littleton

    Pulled a gun with the intent of shooting whoever was trying to bust in through my front door at my apt in Aurora, but they left after my neighbor yelled at them Does that count?

    Never shot at anyone other than those on the TV screen in my own little world.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"

    I can answer no on all counts.

    Guess I lead a boring life.

    1991, working security at night club, drunk belligerent guest who did not like being escorted out of club. Returned with 22 revolver, took 4 shots at myself and 2 other staff in the parking lot.

    Never had to point or fire my pistol at anyone. Have pulled back coat/shirt to reveal it and head off confrontation.

    Several cops have pointed them at me. Never pointed one at someone, but one guy came about a step away.
