      We pull out and hear the pop of a gunshot. For all we know this idiot is going to get in his car and keep pursuing his girlfriend so we’re now dodging through Soulard like a bunch of maniacs until we’re pretty sure we’ve ditched him, pull into a well lighted gas station...

      Call cops again. They show up, tell them the story yada yada. And oh shit! Our friends have landed at the airport! And our back tire is flat - with a bullet hole in it. Uber to the rescue, but still we’ve failed as hosts. Have to go downtown to talk to detectives.

      I change out the tire for the spare in the parking lot. We follow cops to station. Our wonderful neighbors let our friends in our house as we’re telling the story for the nth time now to a very nice detective at HQ. She goes out and pulls bullet fragments from the tire with us.

      I know a little bit about eyewitness ID, and how poor it is. I once worked as an investigator for the public defenders in DC, finding witnesses, taking statements. I’m no better. My recollection - white guy, tall?, tattoos, gun. If the girl didn’t know this guy, I’d be useless.

      Finally we’re home and our friends are there and sit relax and over drinks we all share our “idiots with guns” stories. And they’re from Baltimore, so of course they’ve got stories. And this isn’t even the first time my wife has been shot at in her car.

      Once driving in Baltimore some sociopath decided to start taking pot shots at cars traveling on rt40, including her. Once you add it all up you realize we have all lost our damn minds. We should never have gotten to where these are regular occurences.

      Our friends had to move out of their last apartment due to the psychotic, gun wielding antics of their neighbor, and, get this, they lived in an apartment building. Seriously, just think about sharing a common wall with some mouth-breather with no common sense and a handgun.

      I grew up with guns, own guns, etc., but have never been under the illusion they make us safer. Sane people from the start instruct you in safety, responsibility, these are dangerous tools. You don’t just carry them around. Mine are locked up in a safe unloaded at all times.

      We exist in a state of cultural madness, where we have allowed the spread of a delusion that guns make us safer. They do not. And the complete disregulation of the market allowing any idiot to buy and carry one doesn’t make us safer. It allows idiots to terrorize us.

      Terrifying experience, hope you can come to terms with this violent criminals actions. Helping the young lady is heroic, but admit you exposed you and your wife to danger when you did it. The idiot could have just as easily rammed you or pulled a knife and killed both of you.

          Thank you. I don't believe that I would refer to you as vile for an opinion. There is something that's not coming across here and maybe it's me, but I just don't understand the need to blame weapons and not the criminal. Is it bacause you guys see the woundsand not the criminals?

          Everyone sees you saying "for an opinion" without specifying the content of said opinion in order to make people's disgust with your for your specific opinion specifically about abandoning a person in need seem unreasonable
