Had many guns pointed at me and the most recent was outside of my house as I got out of my car. Dude was hidden in the shadow of a tree at 12 AM and put the gun right in my face. Luckily I had my car in neutral as I was gonna check the engine as it ran and quickly shifted into drive and punched it down 2 blocks before slowing. Not for one second did I try to wrestle the gun from him and I know how. This is a clear cut case of a young punk who thought he was hot shit who got caught and tried to intimidate the wrong people. He got what he deserved.
Got what he deserved? Applying this logic to your own experience, had you maybe made a bad choice about this at some point, perhaps when you were younger, and tried to take a gun away from someone threatening you with it, and got shot in the process, would you have gotten what you deserve?
The answer is no. People should not have guns pointed at them in these situations, and the fault lies with the person pointing the gun.
Yes I would have. It meant I misjudged my capabilities in a high stakes manner and paid the price. I judged accurately I had bad positioning and bad initiative so I chose flight. This man probably never thought once just acted tough to intimidate. And he got popped for it. Guns are a deterrent first and a weapon second. If you charge after seeing a gun you have either no sense of preservation or an over inflated sense of ego. He got what he deserved.
