I can't honestly ever remember one of my friends ever having a situation where one of them has had a gun pulled on them or has even seen a gun in public (other than in an officer's holster).
I also wonder what you guys that have had gun incidents have done to warrant these attacks by other people. I am not pointing fingers here guys but common if someone is blocking in your car and waiving bats at you they can't be doing this out of pure spontanaety. You must have done something to prevoke this? I am not calling you out and asking you to tell us all about your dirty laundry but you are the ones who posted this info in the 1st place.
You guys that have pulled guns talk about it so seriously and then you brag and joke about the size of these monster weapons? You talk about how you would never want to shoot someone but yet you brag about the size of the caliber of the weapon and how big of a hole you can put in someone with it. It is really quite crazy!
Anyways I think we all need to understand is that even though we are neighbours (Canada and US) our cultures and beliefs are still very different. I have been raised in a society where guns are not available and certainly not the norm. As where an US guy has been brought up seeing weapons all his/her life and is quite used to carrying/using weapons.
Very interesting topic this one.

You have valid points and good questions here. Personally, I am not about to mention the specifics of my situations but let me just say that I was not picking fights with people at random. You have been around here long enough to have read a few similar threads that I have participated in and anybody who has read them all should be able to piece it all together.
Peace
