I'm 53 and I've never seen an armed robbery, even lived in Chicago and worked on the South Side. Also, I can hardly think of a time I saw in gun in public that wasn't on a cop.
I've been robbed at knife point, but that was on me. Not going to tell that story!
Lol at I've never SEEN one.....but I have BEEN in one.
You can't just say stuff like that and refuse to elaborate!
Well, it seems like he can
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
I saw someone pointing a gun at someone else in Hollywood in the late 90s. Didn't stick around to find out what was going on, but there was no gunshot, so I assume it didn't end too badly.
A few years back, I was carrying groceries back to my car when a guy approached me pointing at me with something obscured by his jacket pocket and said he had a gun and wanted me to take him somewhere. I paused and decided that even though he probably didn't have one I wasn't willing to risk it, and besides, I had time to give him a lift. Once he was in the car he said he didn't have a gun and thought I was just going to tell him to fuck off. I said I wasn't a risk taker. He talked about being on the run from the police and started talking about how he was in his 30s and needed to stop doing things like this. I never saw any police, so he might have just been paranoid, but who knows. He had me drop him off behind a building not too far away. A strange experience - he should have tried asking nicely instead.
I live in a more southern area and I've seen so many people with guns
