[QUOTE="beardking, post: 3501427, member: 31421"] The most disturbing thing I've ever seen relating to guns would be the chunks of brains on my boots after my 2nd to last night working as a bouncer. Back in 95-96 I worked security for one of the concert promoters in OKC. It was great, I got to see concerts I wanted to see and I (barely) got paid to do it. After a while I started working for them as a bouncer at a mostly Mexican club on 23rd. Most nights were mostly uneventful. Stopping people from getting in that were underage. Kicking people out that had been cut off. Kicking out the couple I caught banging in the men's room (twice). The usual stuff. The 2nd to last night, though, ended a lot differently. Everything had been going along fairly decently. About midnight or so, the other bouncer came over to me and told me he had been watching these 2 guys getting more and more up in each other's business over the last half hour. They hadn't done anything yet, but he was concerned they were going to. We went and talked to the owner of the club and he said to go ahead and show them the door. At first they got a little heated and called us things that I can only assume were not nice (I don't speak Spanish), but finally the 2 groups agreed to leave. We followed them out to the parking lot to make sure they left the property. They got almost to their cars and one of them said something to the other and all h6ll broke loose. There were 3 or 4 in one group and 2 or 3 in the other. The other bouncer and I start trying to break them up and get them out of there. I end up with one of the guys at the end of a truck bed trading punches (Btw: I'm not a big, intimidating guy. I was just doing this for extra money. I just wanted to clarify that I am not bragging or anything). I get a really good punch in on the guy and he slams into the tailgate of the truck. At the same time, I hear what sounds like someone hitting concrete with a baseball bat and everyone around me either hits the ground or runs like cockroaches when you turn on the lights. Then I hear that sound 3 or 4 more times. The guy I had been fighting runs past me and I can finally see the dude near the cab of the truck and he's just popping off rounds left and right. I finally click on what is going on when I look down and see one of the main instigators lying on the ground with blood pooling around where the top of his head used to be. I found out right then that, given the right circumstances, I can run like Jesse Owens. I run behind a dumpster and duck down with a couple other people (the club emptied out when the fight started). The guy by the truck popped off a few more rounds and then jumped in a car and sped off. Once I realized no one else was shooting, I got out from my hiding spot. The next few hours went by really fast. The cops came, the ambulances came, 3 people died that night and I spent a couple hours at the police station waiting to tell my story. I finally drove home about the time the sun was coming up. When I got home, I sat down in my chair to take my boots off so I could get ready for bed. That's when I saw the blood and a chunk of brain tissue on my boot. I lost my lunch right then and there. Not because of the brain, but because I realized how close I came to possibly being shot. The guy that was shot in the head was less than 3 feet from me. And the guy that shot him was maybe 10 feet or so from me. I went back to work there the next weekend, but that was it. The whole time I was there I was doing everything I could to keep from puking. Never worked security or as a bouncer again. [/QUOTE]
