Once as a kid by another kid at his house

---

Twice, plus once at knife-point.

---

Yeah. I was just a kid at the time, but then they were just a little bit older than me.

I haven't. But apparently, one night, my friends did. I forgot why, but I wasn't with them one night. And they apparently got robbed. Though, the guys were caught. Though, I guess I got lucky by not being there. Though, I heard it took some time. Had I been there and called my mom and she knew where it was, it might not have been so good for them... possibly. She's a cop who has lot of cops friends and she lived very close to where it happen, IIRC. This was many years ago, and I wasn't there, so it's a little hard to remember. Anyway, I heard the gun was possibly fake, so there was no real danger to my friends, from what I can remember. Though, if cops saw them with a fake gun that looked real and they pointed at them, well...

When I wrote it, I wrote it out of order. So, I ended up going back and adding sentences. But I didn't change the start of the other sentences I had already written when I added more.

Never been in an area by myself where it would happen.

---

^It could happen in plenty of places, whether you're alone or not..

---

No one can stuck me up at gunpoint.

My reflexes are too fast.
---

I wasn't robbed, but I had more than one gun shoved in my face when I was process serving if that counts.

Knives, bats, and even a cast iron skillet too.

---

Thankfully, no

---

Personally, no. But I was working the till at a gas station and got held up.

We were trained to not escalate the situation and cooperate with thieves, which I did. Gave them what was in the register, which was less than $100 seeing as how I had just made my end-of-shift safe drop moments before they walked in lol

They stole some cigarettes, snack cakes, and some jerky and then left. I called the cops and made a report. Not sure if they were ever caught.

Got fired a week later. There was new management and they hired their relatives to take over, so I think it had nothing to do with the robbery, just coincidental timing

---

Not robbed but I've been threatened at gunpoint a few times.

---

Had guns pointed at me (cops and other ppl), been shot at a few times (never hit though)

Been mugged, but I think it was a fake/cap gun...tried to fight the guy off, but in the process, some other guy (who I wasn't aware was even around) came from behind and clocked me in the back of the head with either a brick or piece of concrete (still have the scar on my head)...as I fell to the ground, I dislocated my shoulder trying to break my fall.

After that, they went to town on me...thought I was dead, but only suffered cuts and bruises on my face and a mild concussion. Went to the ER (had to wait like 8 damn hours) to get my shoulder put back in place.

But, in true Karmic fashion, the guy who mugged me got shot up and killed by some guys with an AK-47...so it is what it is...

Yes

But then I drew my katana and said "I studied the blade and tis much more badass than you"

The thug ran and cried in fear and turned himself in to the nearest police station

Nope. Women don't like nice guys like me :(

---

nah I'm pretty humble.

They family that lives across from me was robbed at gun point by a bunch of people that jumped out of a car.

The family had some sort of auto business going on in front of their house.

They stole everything. Even the potato chips and soft drinks.

Have I ever had a gun pointed at me? Yes.

Was I being robbed? No.

I have been robbed without a gun being used before though.
---

technically no, but i've been shot at.

---

One, I almost never go outside.

Two, like my man Jimmy Jackson from Waterbury, I pack that thang too so you come around this way you will get clapped.

Nope never caught slipping

---

Ive never seen a handgun outside of when some idiots from Toronto brought theirs when they were selling weed to my friend. Like its not a key, bud.
