Have you ever been shot?

I am A-OK with my lead-free existence to date.

Shot at, as I've mentioned before and shot in the leg by a friend. Only a air pistol but I was wearing shorts and ouch it hurt.

other than air rifles, i've fired a crappy cadet rifle thing on a shooting range: that was when i was at school. i can't remember the details, but we obviously weren't using live ammo, so i'm not sure if this counts or not.

i am a shit shot. i actually shot at the next dude's target for a while; we worked this out when it transpired he had an impossible number of hits.

xpost: i've been shot in the foot with an air pistol (didn't hurt at all, actually: thick trainers) and my bus window was taken out one night with an air gun of some kind, too.

why is there no option for "I took a few hits back in Nam"

oh, hang on. that first bit was meant to go on the "fired a gun" thread. ach. that's what happens when you open a load of ILX threads, then go off and do something else for a bit. sorry.

xpost because we don't want to bring back the traumas.

> why is there no option for "I took a few hits back in Nam"

There is.

"Yes, while serving in the military during a time of war"

And don't hand me any 'police action' crap as an excuse.

My dreams, as also noted elsewhere, have been full of being chased by men with guns recently. When I'm shot in dreams though it never hurts. Come to think about it I don't think I ever feel pain on dreams, is that wierd or normal?

it means you want to be shot by their "love gun"

craig to thread

No, but let me tell you about a close call.

I used to work at a video store that was open until midnight. We were usually there until 2 a.m. One night after closing, a coworker was shelving videos on some racks near the window when he heard a couple of thumps outside. He looked up and saw that two bullet holes had appeared in the window.

The police told us later that someone had just driven down the street shooting at all of the storefront windows. This happened a second time a few weeks later and I left the job.

I've had cocked and loaded guns pointed at me. It wasn't a pleasant experience, and no, I don't want to talk about it.

uh

so close

So true.

it means you want to be shot by their "love gun"

cum-shot?

i prefer the term "jizz jolt"

As mentioned on other thread, I had a moment of gun-wielding madness during a break-up. Could easily have shot myself by accident, not really knowing how sensitive the trigger on the gun was.

"cocked and loaded"

I haven't ever been shot, but my husband had a nasty (accidental) self-inflicted shotgun incident many years ago in which he blew the little finger on his left hand off. Ouch.

i've been shot web.

Have you met Spiderman?

I've been popel shot :\

I didn't intend to reawaken bad memories, Kate. Apologies.

actually posting 'i don't want to talk about it' = wtf

i've had one pointed at me on two unfortunate occasions.

it's not that wtf really, cos i was going to ask about it, but i guess that was anticipated.

No, but I feel I'm missing out on an important experience

I want to see how many people vote for this one.

i pointed a gun at my sister once. i was 6. er there's not much more to say about it

I dreamt I got shot last night, but it didn't hurt so nobody gave a shit - is there a common fancy psychological explanation for this?

oh, maybe three times actually... i just remembered an incident in high school in which my friend and i were going to buy drugs and her idiot boyfriend said something like, "if they give us any trouble, they'll be sorry!" and pulled a small handgun out of his parka and started waving it around the car.

actually posting 'i don't want to talk about it' = wtf

Very OTM. It's a bit "Oh look at me. Look at me! No wait. Why are you looking at me? You haaaaate me." Oh wait, that's not wtf, that's just Masonic Boom.

Hmm drive-by in high school but I was not hit.

Does having my car shot by a kid when I was a teacher count? I wasn't in it at the time so I guess not. I called the car "fiddy" after that.

i think saying "i don't want to talk about it" is ok.

What Kate's saying is that she was shot through the heart, and you're to blame.

Good Job.

You give love a bad name.

I selected "Yes, in a firearm mishap" before realising airguns didn't count. When I say "mishap" I'm still convinced the cunt meant it.

I was almost shot in a real firearms mishap. Scared the shit out of me, and the guy who almost shot me.

Was it Dick Cheney?

No. Dick found his target.

He was practicing on Onimo.

Damn, Onimo gets around...

i have been shot AT but it was a fail.

Just remembered, I was also near some people who were shot at in Ocean Beach, MD back in the 90s. We were sitting on the boardwalk benches next to theirs when, without warning, they ran off in a hurry. We bumped into them later that night and they told a story about making fun of a guy in a pink shirt. He apparently tried to shoot at them. There were a lot of police around the area, so we didn't get to check out the hole in the bench.

that's why you don't fuck with Cam'ron

Stabbed, but not shot.

Stabbed in a violent way (not a kitchen way)?

In junior high, a 17 year old eighth grader tried to stick me with a cafeteria fork. It hurt a little, but didn't even get through my t-shirt.

It was actually more pathetic than frightening.

17 year old eighth grader

That is insane. In the district where I taught, kids were chucked out of middle school when they hit 16. No ifs ands or buts.

A couple of gang members were involved in a dispute outside of our apartment a good while back and they shot out the rear window of our front neighbor's car. Closest I've come.

This was in Austin, at Lamar Jr. High, over there on Burnet and Koenig. Over 20 years ago, though. I'm thinking 82, most likely.

I subbed once at jr. high on the east side whose name I've erased from my memory. It was a terrifying place and if someone had told me it was a copy of the middle school in Dallas where I would become a permanent teacher, I would have never gotten my license.

a friend of mine was shot in the leg outside of the whitecastle in williamsburg. this was a bunch of years ago. he was found guilty of assault because they had him on video holding a chair from inside the whitecastle, which he picked up to defend himself when the guy flashed his gun. the guy who shot him got off/was not injured at all.

that's gangsta

that's so fucked

I actually think I've heard of that wburg white castle incident before. N-n-n-notorious.

he got off probation just recently! would not be surprised if others here know him.

Does his first name rhyme with "Ray"?

Gay?

Fay Vincent?

nope. maybe other people were shot there? i know someone else who was mugged right there.

I see a Harold & Kumar sequel

Harold & Kumar Get Shot

Has a nice, final third of a trilogy sound to it, doesn't it?

Harold & Kumar & Rosencrantz & Guildenstern

meh. It only really works as a play.

nine times

The searing kiss of hot lead.

bell, that was damien, right? that w.c. just draws trouble. i was mugged at gunpoint right across the street.

yeh. amy was mugged there as well, but apparently scared the mugger off by waving a stiletto shoe in his face.

HA. unfortunately i was wearing flats at the time.

Wow. Wburg WCastle needs its own (lurid) wiki page.

The characters Rosenberg and Goldstein are also a reference to the characters Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in the play "Hamlet". The writers hope to create an alternate film with these characters that takes place in the same time period much like the way that the play "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead" takes place in the same time period as "Hamlet".

I had a really vivid dream about getting shot in the head once. It was all in super slow-mo: I could feel my skull splinter; feel the bullet plow through my brain, turning it into milkshake shrapnel; feel it exit out the back of my head as the blood and fragments of bone lodged in my hair. My vision turned red with blood: I saw flashes of light and dark spots, spinning internally in pain as I felt my head spurting blood rhythmically.

So, this makes me think I don't want to get shot in the head.

uh, yeah, thanks n/a.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I've been shot on 8 mm film

Good work not catching a hot one, all but 5 ilxors.

I am a little surprised that no one was hit while in the service, but then again this board isn't exactly I Love The Smell of Napalm In the Morning.
