In reply to both your posts Ken, I once caught a ride from a truck driver sometime toward the middle of the night. When I got in and closed the door, he showed me his 38 and simply told me to behave myself. I said, “yes sir”. He later told me that on a couple of occasions he had been robbed by people he thought he could trust but instead of stopping picking up hitch hikers he bought a gun instead. He also told me that he used to hitch hike a lot when he first got out of the military and he just couldn’t help giving someone a hand when they were out there on the road by themselves trying to get somewhere. He ended up being a pretty nice guy even afte a shaky and somewhat scary start.
Can't we keep politics in the Politics and Government forum? The above-reproduced image appears to depict Joe Biden at a crowded event, menacingly holding what looks like a gun with its barrel pointed into the mouth an elderly woman. However, the captioned image was just a digitally manipulated version of a rather mundane photograph showing Biden conversing with participants at a town hall event while he was on the campaign trail in Florida in 2008:
True but if he were a school kid he’d get expelled for his finger looking like a gun. After all, it does look like just said, “bang”.
It's not a big deal. Let's just get back on topic. Have any of you ever had a gun pulled on you, or had reason to think that someone has pulled a gun on you?
