If I see someone having a conversation on a hands free (so they look like they're talking to thin air), I join in the conversation. It really annoys them.

Consider the potential for illegal gun ownership by criminals and the

their violent crimes. Now you have you answer from above of why the need
to carry a gun in public.

A guy pointed a gun at you while you were holding your own gun and
why!?
Or have I misinterpreted what you said?

And if guns were less prevalent in the US, like say a civilised country like the UK, that would never have happened.

Illegal would have left me with my cock in hand and the illegal gun in his hand pointing at me. Glad i was legal. Getting shot back at is a bitch too.

Yes, several times, once by cops. Now it seems that they have
legitimate concerns when someone pulls out a phone. Next protocol will
be for them to only 'return fire' just like those stupid 'Rules of
Engagement' where soldiers have to wait to be shot at before shooting
at obvious attackers.

I agree about the soldier bit being wrong "to have to wait" etc, but
why did the cops point a gun at you, what had you done that was so bad
for them to do that?

You shouldn't assume that someone has to have done something wrong to
have this happen, but in my case...

I was in possesion of a 'stolen' car. I had been working on it with a
friend and had it parked in the driveway where I was living at the
time. These cops were complete assholes who IMO should never have been
given the authority that they had.

The car had been reported stolen by the owner who was at that time
incarcerated, and the person who 'stole' it was his brother who was
using it without his brother's permission and wanted my friend and I to
tune it up (a seal was leaking oil onto the FI points) and install a
Blaupunkt stereo as a surprise for his brother who was soon to be
released.

The cops burst into my bedroom with guns drawn as I was pulling my
pants on, and pulled them back off of me so that they could jail me
while wearing only my underwear. They took joy in telling me how close
I came to being shot and how much they like being able to shoot white
boys. While taking me to the 'shower' to hose me down they briefly made
an error and I considered taking them on because I thought they were
going to beat me, but I didn't and they didn't beat me.

Still, I know lots of cops and they are not all bad like these were, so
I still have some respect left for them. It's a tough job and I think
that they should do a better vetting and stop those with psychological
problems from joining their ranks.

Per Bod:
Have you personally had a gun drawn on you at all?

Once - by some halfwit that I suspect had recently engaged in some crime
or another.

High-caliber revolver that he loaded with what looked like blue plastic
moon clips.

It's amazing how *big* those bullets and the bore of the gun look when
pointed at one.

A juggler, driving to his next performance, is stopped by the police. "What are these matches and lighter fluid doing in your car?" asks the cop.
"I'm a juggler and I juggle flaming torches in my act."
"Oh yeah?" says the doubtful cop. "Lets see you do it." The juggler gets out and starts juggling the blazing torches masterfully.
A couple driving by slows down to watch. "Wow," says the driver to his wife. "I'm glad I quit drinking. Look at the test they're giving now!"
