I saw someone pointing a gun at someone else in Hollywood in the late 90s. Didn't stick around to find out what was going on, but there was no gunshot, so I assume it didn't end too badly.

A few years back, I was carrying groceries back to my car when a guy approached me pointing at me with something obscured by his jacket pocket and said he had a gun and wanted me to take him somewhere. I paused and decided that even though he probably didn't have one I wasn't willing to risk it, and besides, I had time to give him a lift. Once he was in the car he said he didn't have a gun and thought I was just going to tell him to fuck off. I said I wasn't a risk taker. He talked about being on the run from the police and started talking about how he was in his 30s and needed to stop doing things like this. I never saw any police, so he might have just been paranoid, but who knows. He had me drop him off behind a building not too far away. A strange experience - he should have tried asking nicely instead.
