That's bullshit. Your friend is a gangbanger hanging out on the wrong side of town with the wrong people. I'm 35 years old and never had a gun pulled on me once. I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth, but sure as hell I've strived to live in the good parts of town and stayed away from the bad parts of town.
I've never once witnessed a driveby shooting, nor I have see a murder or mugging.
