After a football game on campus. I think it was around 2007-08. We had dropped my brother in law off near his car, and circled back around the backside of campus to swing by the bookstore. There was only one road in, and at the intersection they were trying to make people only go straight or turn left. I needed to make a right. Campus cops were "directing" traffic, so it was like 1-2 cars at a time, then they'd switch to the next lane. Instead of letting like 10 cars go at once. They probably shouldn't have even been there since it was a 4-way stop. I hit my right blinker, and start to make the turn and this cop jumps in front of the car and draws his gun. I'm not sure why he felt it was necessary to draw. I rolled down my window, and told the other cop that I was just trying to run by the bookstore and shop. He yells back at me that I'm about to get shot. I put it in reverse, backed up, and then floored it out of there. We ended up filing a report with the city police, but nothing ever came of it. The cop that drew on me was fired within a year for pulling gun on some sorority girl at a frat party.

What bothers me the most, outside of getting nearly shot, is that there are also 5 dorms with massive parking lots on that same road. I could have been a student getting back to my dorm after the game, or back into town from the weekend. And they're going to pull a gun on someone for trying to make a right? If you want to close off a road, put up a barricade or a sign saying no right turn. I hadn't seen anyone making a right, but most were trying to get off campus, and that was what going straight or left got you.

Yes.

Tarpon Rodeo several years ago. Pulled my drunk buddy out of the bar and he saw a truck just like his. He hopped in and tried to put his keys in. Some girl saw this and ran back in and got the guy. He reached in the door and put the gun in my face. I hurriedly tried to explain him what happened and he laughed it off and helped me get my buddy out.

One of scardest I have ever been

Yeah, got pulled over by a rookie cop once that was scared shitless, his hands were shaking. He ended up pulling his gun, said if I took my hands of the steering wheel, I'd get shot.

Cop- The silent alarm was set off and while calling alarm company to tell them false alarm a cop had pulled up and was walking in the shop while I was walking out. We met up, I guess I startled him and he drew his weapon and I put hands up immediately.

Yes, my next door neighbor, when I was a teenager (he was as well) became friends with this guy who was a legit idiot. It was during the summer and their parents were not home. We were at their house and the idiot friend was over there and he just goes in the back of the house and finds their dad's shotgun and comes up front and points it at everyone.

I didn't feel safe so I left and as I was going down their driveway, comes out of the front door, points the gun at me and says something like "what's wrong pussy? you scared". I was never a snitch, but for whatever reason, my dad was home that dad.. Because I remember thinking about going tell him because I knew he would probably go over there and flip the frick out on the kid (gun safety was a big deal to him, as it should have been and while he was laid back, he would have likely gone over there and did something to the kid, he would regret), but I didn't.

That same summer, on the 4th of July, my neighbor was at that guy's house and he was laying across the guy's bed reading a magazine and that jackass pulls out a gun from his closet, points it at my neighbor.. Thought it was unloaded, but it wasn't. My neighbor had his elbow on bed with his hand holding his head up, with his arm covering part of his face, which likely saved his life because his arm took most of the impact. It messed up his face pretty bad, had to have reconstructive surgery and was in the hospital for a few months. But that's the only time I remember having a gun pointed at me.

not directly but in high school thought it was cool to drive around shooting paintballs at people, until one guy shot back and hit the car I was in.

Yes outside C and C Liquor store on Greenwood Road in Shreveport in high school because my friend accidentally pulled in front of the psycho. I honestly just stared at him and he eventually put the gun down and drove away.

Twice. Both in Baton Rouge. Go figure.

1. At the student Union ATM machines, the night before Katrina blew through.

2. Leaving mellow mushroom, walking back to Commons solo. 4 dudes in a POS corolla tried to rob me, smacked one dude, driver pulled a gun. I ran.

Passed a guy who was going 25mph in a 40mph zone. Should have been no big deal but apparently it was to him. He sped up, got on my arse, and starting pointing a handgun at me.

I pulled over real quick and let him go by. Then followed him until the Sheriff showed up.

Yes. I got carjacked behind Nicks bar on Tulane Avenue when I was 18 or 19.

Got out the car and the guy put the gun in my face and told me to give him everything. I gave him my wallet and keys and walked down to the corner. When I got to the corner I called 911. He couldnt get the car started. It was a stick shift. As I was on the phone with 911, he got out the car eventually and walked the other way. Cops got there a few seconds later and the first guy on the scene I actually knew. They picked him up on the next block with the exact amount of money I said I had.

He was actually a male prostitute and was at the hospital down the street with his girlfriend, who was having a baby. He left to get a car to bring them home.

Third time being convicted of armed robbery. He got 6 years

Yes. By the father of a girl a buddy and I were trying to sneak out of her house. We were fricked up and knocked on her parents bedroom window instead of hers. I shudder when I think about it now. Damn lucky he didn’t kill us both and would’ve been within his rights to do so.

Group of old fraternity brothers & I were caught in the cross fire while walking back to our car at 2 am outside of Tigerland years back. We burnt rubber on the way out of there.
