3. well lets see
it started out with checking a warrant, and while checking for the wanted guy, we came across a domestic.....with the woman screaming "help me, hes gonna kill me.." My somewhat larger partner kicked the door in and then fell down, so I went in ahead of him.....and came face to face with a subnosed .38 revolver.....I went left and the gun went right and we NEVER met in the middle....then he went for shot #2..and needless to say the big boy got up and finished it....not fun.

7. Ugh. Again, glad you're ok. I've never been shot at at work, but I can
imagine how you felt. I doing a sweep of a vessel in the Carribean during a drug interdiction boarding. Everyone was supposed to be on the stern of the ship. Entered a compartment and came face-to-face with 9 guys, four of them armed. They surrendered to me, but geeeze....

8. Forgive my ignorance...
I'm assuming that you're a police officer?

Glad to hear that you weren't injured. :-)

19. I too had a similar "life flashing before my eyes" moment...
I once went dove hunting with a very prominent politician. I can't name him so let's just call him Chip Deney. Well Chip slammed down a case of Ole Milwaukee and half a bottle of Ole Granddaddy before we headed out...let's just say I'm glad I'm only 3'4"..so only my hat got blown away.
