    Default What would be your reaction?

    Ok, here's the story.

    We were driving through downtown Greensburg yesterday when all of a sudden, like a bat out of hell, a 18-19year old comes running out of an alley carrying a gun. He almost slammed against my Escalade and a couple seconds later another guy (also carrying a gun) chasing number 1. I told my wife to get down as I slammed the brakes.
    The first guy turned towards number 2 and aimed his gun at him (this was about 30yards away from our car) and at the same time number 2 aimed his gun. There must've been 15yards between the two of them and right at that point I noticed the small orange tip on the gun of number 1...............damn air soft guns. There we are.............in our car. Me with a cocked 44special in my hand and my wife under the dashboard of the car, hiding.
    I got out of the car and walked towards these two idiots screaming my head off at them for being so irresponsible.
    Number 1 turned as pale as a stiff because he noticed my 44special and started to stutter a bunch of apologies, but number 2 thought it was really funny and laughed his ass off. He said that they were doing this kind of stuff all the time. I told him.....just wait till you pull this crap in front of a LEO one time.......you might not be so lucky.

    If nothing else, he should be thankful you didn't hit him with your vehicle.

    Kids these days are so stupid sometimes. I hate that they just assume everyone will stop and revolve the world around THEM.

    I'm all for Airsift wars, but they need to be contained to specific areas.

    I am not against any of it, but like you said, do it somewhere where you are not endangering other people.
    The road I was on (it was 2PM) runs parallel with "main street" and frequents a lot of patrol cars because there is a police station close by.

    My point is, that if it was a cop instead of me and the cop would yell at the kids to put the guns down and one of these kids would turn towards the cop unintentionally with the gun in his hand, the cop would shoot him on the spot.

    This^^^^^. My son and his friends have airsoft wars all the time. They play in the back yards of friend's homes and the woods behind them.

    Idiots. Airsoft is great, and great fun. But, for crying out loud...

    My reaction would probably have been similar to your own. I think I might have hit the gas and called 911 before realizing they were airsoft guns, though. Who knows?

    I would have yelled at them also. You handled it well.

    So after you realized they had airsoft guns, you proceeded to approach them in an aggressive manor and yelling with loaded weapon in your hand?

    Had a leo been around that could have ended bad for you.

    Gotta agree with this one.
    What they did wasn't very smart, but what you did .. not cool at all.
    You confirmed there was no threat, REAL firearm stays in the vehicle.
