    All these "friends" who've pointed guns at boards.ies and not one of them ended up requiring medical attention? Loaded or no, I would batter someone for pointing a gun at me "as a joke". Fvcking moronic behaviour.

    (To be fair, if they're the sort of psycho who might respond to the punches by using the gun with malice next time, I'm sure I'd simply mark it down to experience and avoid them from then on, but a normal person who was "only messing" would be getting a slap.

    No, never had one pointed at me but I've never been anywhere *that* dangerous either.

    No need to batter someone who doesn't exist.

    No, although a guy did walk into an off-licence behind me in the US and shout "This is a stick up!". Almost wet myself until I saw the guy behind the counter laughing, looked around at to see his mate pointing his not-so-lethal finger at me with a huge grin on his face :o

    Better to have a gun and not need it than to need one and not have one...

    I understand its probs common practice, down the country to jape around with the old mans shotgun or that but in the 'burbs it's not gonna be not so innocent. That's what happens on here, some rural lad starts sounding off about having a gun as if it was his only avenue to let off steam and it gets misconstrued

    Maybe she was in on the whole thing

    It was the restaurants first night, we'd done about 6 customers... 2 paid with credit card, he got the float and about 100 quid, she was cleverer than that :-)

    The armed response put me in the back of the unmarked and drove me around to 2 different guys they'd apprehended to see if that was the perp.
    It wasn't, but it was feckin cool ...
    They arrested yer man weeks later, turned out he was a local criminal, went on an armed robbery rampage and just went from place to place robbing them, one after another...

    Well you could say that about anything. Like "It's better to have an elephant and not need it than to need one and not have one."

    This man's logic is infallible.

    Although this begs the question, "How are you gonna fit an elephant in your night stand" and what to do about the resultant stench and mess, it does solve your security issues. You've got to be mad to burgle any home when there's an elephant residing in it. I've seen the youtube of what an upset pachyderm can do to an Asian trainer.
