For instance if he claimed his head was slammed into the pavement 25 to 35 times I would expect that to have occurred at least ten times.

Last time I had a gun pulled on me was back in S.C.
I had put a new SU carb on my MG Midget and was test driving it on some back country road. I was stopping every few minutes on the side of the road and getting under the hood to tweak the mixture screw on the side of the carb.
As I'm driving back and forth on this little road, a guy came out and flagged me down.
So I pulled up into his yard. He ran over telling me how cool my old MG was and how he hadn't seen one in years, etc.
People did that all the time, so I'm not thinking anything of it.
I get out and raise the hood for him and start showing him the mods I had done. Suddenly he runs around the car, grabs my key out of the ignition and pulls out a pistol. He cocks it and aims it dead at me!!!
I about had a heart attack. I had a sudden sinking feeling that I had just made a terrible, terrible mistake and I was going to be dead in a minute.
The guy starts cussing me out and telling me that he KNOWS it was me that has been the one vandalizing everyones yards and homes on that country road!
Keep in mind that the homes weren't side by side. It was out in the country. So there would be an acre or more between these little houses.
I explained to him that I lived around the corner, and that I was working on my car.
He held me at gunpoint for about a half hour. I finally convinced him to let me go.
I went home and called the cops and they went to his house and took care of it.
But man...that was some scary shit because I didn't see it coming. And I felt so dumb that I had gotten trapped like that.
One thing's for sure, after that I don't let anybody get me in a situation where I would be helpless again.
