I was walking home from the Homecoming football game. It was around 9:50-10:00. Out of no where this guy comes up to me, takes out a gun, cocks it, and points at me chest. He tells me to keep walking so I kept walking, then he told me to give him my money. Luckily didn't have any or else i woulda been screwed. This was the first time i got a gun pointed at me. Scary experience....
:edit:
I need to find a gun....
-
Did you get a description of him? Did you call the police?
-
You need to report it, even if they don't catch the guy, your report might tell them "somethings happening in this area" and they may watch it. You might be one of many, and your report might help them stake it out or something

Thanks for the link Sin...lol...there are always people taking guns to school...it's nothing new...there are at least 10 cops on each floor of my school...I haven't heard of anyone actually shooting at someone at school, but kids do bring guns...
-
you dont need a gun. no one ever needs a gun

wow thats sure a bizarre image for me, the thought of a school with any type of law enforcement is weird. Makes me feel lucky and/or naive as to how schools are outside of hawaii.

I had a similar experience a couple of years ago. It was two guys and although they weren't pointing a gun at me, they threatened to shoot me. Luckily I didn't have any cash, so they told me to just go away. I did report it, but nothing turned up.
Having someone point a gun at you, and or threaten to shoot you is definatly an experience I don't need to live again, and I don't think that anyone should have to. It really is scary.
-
Yeah.. that is wierd. Theres no sort of law enforcement in our schools. I've never heard of any guns being taken to school, either. No gangs.. nothing really like that around here.
Where do you live, JayJay?

Where do you live, JayJay?
Location: Chicago Illinois
yeah we had security at our school. Just like 4 of them. Never heard of anyone bringing a gun to school.

Why are you screwed if you do have cash?

In that same situation, how do you think you could have gotten your own gun and spun around and shot him without him doing anything? Movies are not real life.
-
I have to agree with Particles on that one. You are lucky you didn't have a gun. If you would have tried and pulled out a gun, chances are, the crook would have shot you first. You also have to stop and think, if you pull out a gun are you really willing to shoot someone.

also if Im not mistaken you cant carry a gun in public legally so if you did shoot him you would still get in trouble.

You actually can in Certain states now Aphex. Here in Texas we have a Liscense to carry law. Many normal people carry concealed handguns here. Since the law has passed crime has actually decreased 20 percent. Not because we have a bunch of cowboys shooting bad guys here but because you never know who is carrying a gun now days so the criminals have to think twice about mugging someone.
I personally don't carry a gun and would never carry one but I have a lot of friends that do.
-
yeah I used to live in houston.
and i wasnt sure about the laws. I knew you could get a permit but I wasnt sure if that covered being able to carry it on the street.
-
You have to be a certain age to carry a concealed weapon tho....you cant be a freakin freshman in high school!
-
The simple fact is that guns can succesffully pull off a premeditated action, you arent going to be able to pull it out, dive into the bushes and fire off 30 successive rounds that hit your target, in the time it takes them to pull the trigger of a gun already pointed at you. So carrying a gun on hand can only prove defensive in a few select situation.

He had his back turned to me and told me to keep walking because cops were everywhere, i thought about whacking him but i was too scared to do anything.
-
so he was walking backwards? haha

A gun nut (I use that term fairly loosely, I consider myself in advocation of the right to bear firearms to most extents) I once knew told me that in Sweden (or some other, similar European country) there are rarely, if any, robberies in gas stations, banks, and other assorted establishments.
Why? Because everyone has a gun. Well, not everyone, but its easy enough to get one and carry it in public such that there is too high a chance that someone might blast a criminal if he were to attempt to rob a store.

Carry a 12gauge shotgun and blow a hole in that unsavory woman.
-
Guns are a bad idea.

wow, 4 police officers on each floor... my whole school has one officer and he doesn't even show up every day... It's hard to believe some places can be that violent...
