Ok see story above, this guy has a (presumably) loaded gun pointed at his head with the gunman repeatedly shouting "I'm going to shoot you" and he still goes up and grabs the gun off the scumbag and headbutts him. What a legend or maybe what an idiot?? He is also in witness protection now as he is prosecuting witness in the case. I doff my cap to you brave man.

Anyway, how do you think you would react in this situation? I know the minute I saw that gun pointing at my head and seeing the oppurtunity to have my name in lights I would.............. completely sh!t myself, cower down before him and beg mercy for my life.

I'd be a 'coward'.

Sit there and say nothing. Cowardly, but still the most sensible thing to do.


Fair play to him for not getting blown the smithereens though.

Were you to ask me a while back I would probably say I'd keep my head down and my mouth shut and hope he goes away
But when you watch the news and read about so many of these bastards who don't 'go away', I'd say that now I'd like to think I'd do what that dude did. If you assume he's gonna kill you which is a real possibility, I'd try to kill that dude first

I think we've finally learned the identity of The Citizen.

I dunno, the guy having the gun pointed at him seemed to have the situation sized up enough to make him push the gun away and take control .He guessed they guy might be bluffing although it could so easy have turned out nasty in the end .I dont think I would have done same ,most likely froze , it's hard to say in the moement how one might react in same situation .

The old saying goes ' never point a gun at anybody unlesss your going to use it '

So ****head ,either shoot me or ....' * thump thump thump *

that's the perfect ending .

Here are your options.
You do nothing, he shoots you, you die.

You do something, he shoots you, you die.

You do something, you over power, him.

Always assume someone pointing a weapon at you intends to use it, I would fight back.

If I was drunk yes, but only because I wanted a go on the gun.

All depends if the guy honestly looks like he will do it you have to try something. If not try make him put the gun away.

Or the guy with the gun is only bluffing, you do nothing, and he doesn't shoot you.

If I could see it in his eyes (Intent, nervousness) and he didn't look too much bigger than me then I'd have to jump him. A gun would be easier to get out of his hands at close range than a knife.

Good chance you'd be shot but I'd rather take my chances fighting the cùnt than him ending my life so easily.

Plus I'd have to take the gun and empty the magazine :pac:

Now, back to reality, I'd shìt my pants and hopefully the smell would disgust him and make him run away from me.

Pj!

By far the likeliest outcome you're forgetting there. Most people don't want to shoot somebody.

Instead of letting the gun toting maniac have control of his life, he took teh control back.

Fúcking Legend.

I'd drink him under the table.

Then take his gun.
