To counter the thread about pulling a weapon on someone, has anyone ever had a firearm pulled on them, and what happened?

I shall start with my own experience.

I work at the gun desk of a retail store, but this day (about 2 years ago) i was stuck running the cash registers. An older man walked in and stood in my line, so i figure he just has a question (common thing for people to do i've noticed).

Well, when he gets up to me, he pulls a black, scratched, medium sized revolver out of his pocket, and sets it on the register counter with the muzzle facing me. The first thing i think is "he's barely got his hand on it, at a bad angle, finger nowhere near the trigger. do i try to see if i'm faster and take it from him?". I didn't have to do either thankfully

He asked me "Do you know what this is?" I obviously think this guy is nuts. but then he said "This is a gun! Guns are meant to kill people! Now I need some ammo!".

he then flipped open the cylinder and showed me it was empty. I wanted to slug him. I called my general manager, and the guy who was currently covering the gun desk and they escorted him everywhere, but didn't let him buy ammo due to his actions. we also notified the police and other gun stores close to us.

i know it happened a few years ago, but it's amazing how much detail one will remember when scarred to the point of needing to go change their undergarmets...
