You are so right. I have told my kids for years to turn and run screaming from anyone who tries to get them to do something by pointing a gun or telling them they have a gun. Does anyone on FR remember the case of Jacob Wetterling? He was abducted while riding his bike with friends in his hometown in Minnesota. He was 13 at the time (I think, not sure); he should have got on his bike and rode like hell. He has never been seen again. What I tell my children is that there are some things worse than death.
