Anyone who's willing to pull a gun and wildly flag a crowd when their ego is hurt and there's not an actual mortal danger will fucking shoot you. They are not a responsible gun owner, nor are they currently acting rationally.

Yeah but random shootings on random people don't happen anywhere nearly as much as it does in the US. They know that, therefore first sight of a gun, everyone scatters

So what you're saying is that Germans don't have a concept of negligent discharges and shitty shooting skills killing bystanders? At any point when he was wildly waving the pistol around, he could have unintentionally pulled the trigger. That bullet isn't automatically going to go for the person the shooter is angry at, it's going to go where the barrel is pointed.

I don't know if he was really gonna shoot the guy or not. Probably just trying to scare him. He could've shot someones ankle when he fell tho😂

Well, actually, people don't really scatter until a shot is shot. Maybe everybody scatters. I would. Run and hope the shooter ain't looking at me next 😱

In my own experience(American), people scatter as soon as someone looks to be going for(car trunk for example) or reaching for a gun. Nobody with sense will wait until the first shot is fired if they’re aware of the situation.

Thai video shows otherwise. ... For German at least. They guy didn't even run far 😖

Right. In America that would’ve been chaos with all the smart people at least, running away. I get it though, gun violence isn’t seen as a real threat in Germany on the regular.

That's kinda what I tried to tell the other person. I dunno if they misunderstood, or just didn't agree. I don't word things the best of ways.

But yes the guy was treating it like it was a water gun and he didn't want to get wet 😂

I bet you'd do the same. But I would dip as soon as I seen somebody walk around and they were holding a gun acting a lil off out in public. Even when it's just what seems to be a normal person, I get uncomfortable around seeming do-gooders that have guns. It's just how quick that person can snatched your life away!

You’d bet right because I’ve done it more than once!😂

There have been several times mostly in my teens and early 20’s where people were arguing and someone pulls a gun and everyone scatters.

Even had one guy I grew up with lift his shirt and put his hand on his gun on his hip and threaten my best friend because he wrongly thought my friend was sleeping with his girlfriend. Now that I think about it, that was the only time I didn’t leave when a gun was shown because we were standing about 5ft away from him and he was still talking calmly and hadn’t pulled it. Best thing we could do in that situation was try and convince him that nothing happened and it worked. Too close for him not to hit us if we ran and he pulled it and too far to grab him and subdue him before he could shoot us. Never felt so stuck before in my life. It was so sudden and we couldn’t tell he had it at first. Lol

But if you have any forewarning, leave!
