I don't believe you. Two times huh? Where the H3LL do you live, and who do you hang out with? You must be a magnet for at temped murders...
I bet you won't find ones other person on this thread who has has a gun pointed at them by a criminal even once. Sure it wasn't 5 times?

"Sure it wasn't 5 times?"

Yup, only twice. Once I was 17 and worked at a women's clothing store and we were held up and I was the one at our register. The second occasion I was admittedly with someone who wasn't the most upstanding character (although I wouldn't have admitted it then) in a bad section of Providence, RI and when he decided to cause a problem with some yutes, one pulled a gun on me. Pleading for my life on my knees was not something I cared to recollect, but thanks for forcing my hand.

So there you have it - see, I poured my heart out for you!

Anyway, I still do not see your statistics posted. Somehow they seem suspect. How many gun crimes are stopped by people with firearms each year? How many cops use their weapons against law-abiding citizens each year in some manner? The answers will probably suggest that many more criminals victimize the good guys than cops do. But because you made the claim, you can research it.

You lose.

Armed robbery at work, thirteen years ago. I was the lucky girl who approached the criminal as if he were any other customer and said "May I help you?", so I was the one who got to clean out the cash register with a gun in my face.

Yes, we gals in retail are magnets for that sort of thing.

I've had a gun in my face once. I was doing onsite computer network maintenance and finished up late at night in an industrial area and stopped at a pay phone (20 years ago before I had a cell phone).

I'm lucky it never happened again but if it happened once to me it could happen twice.
