(878 posts)The first was in the desert outside of Phoenix. I was a teen just got my license, and I was on a dirt road to nowhere. We stopped, got out and bullets hit the ground at our feet.
They were warning shots, but we took the hint and left.
Much more dangerous was outside a bar. I was going to my car and shots rang out. all I could do was crouch behind a car for cover. after a moment of quiet I made in back to the bar and called the cops. When they arrived I walked them out to where it all happened. The thugs were long gone. But there were bullet holes in the wall behind me.
I think I walked into a drug deal gone bad. Not something you would expect in the nice part of town (near ASU).
But those are my brushes with death. Apart from that my sister has a cat who hates me, and would plot my nefarious demise if he only had thumbs.
