Very sorry you’ve experienced this. Also very sorry that ducking and fleeing was your only recourse while having a gun pointed at you.

This is a wonderful example of a time where proper training and legally carrying a firearm would have been advantageous. Police can’t be everywhere all the time and even in Columbia (one of the safest places in the country) things like this can happen. No matter how safe you “feel” in your day to day life, the reality is YOU are solely responsible for your safety.

Here I am being downvoted for stating something logically and factually accurate. Explain how this is an extreme point? Do you feel your safety is someone else’s responsibility. Genuinely curious

Because when someone pulls a gun on you first, usually the main options you have are to either get shot or flee. Pulling out a gun while someone is already aiming at you will resort in only one option: you getting shot.

Dude[tte] this is not just a sub for the People's Republic of Maryland, but it is the one for Columbia, a city that is literally a 1000% NIMBY HOA and you're surprised that a pro-gun comment is downvoted?
