Oh God yes! It's a long story but to sum it up I was almost completely surrounded by large street gang in Memphis late one night in my car. I got away with literally 2-3 seconds to spare at most.

@Nitedoc I'm glad I haven't experienced anything that scary yet and hopefully it remains that way.

@SW-User I think I'll tell the long version. It's even scarier. I stopped at a red light light in a really bad hood after getting lost in Memphis. I was the only car in the area moving I soon noticed. It looked like the whole place was abandoned. Within seconds I heard someone pull my door handle to get in and start screaming to get out the car! I had the windows cracked about an inch or so. I had already taken my pistol, a chrome plated .38, out of the glove box and put it on the seat beside me. I picked up the gun and pointed it at him through the window crack. He took two steps back the started yelling "kill me MF, kill me MF. That's when I saw the large crowd on the sidewalk move into the street and move toward me. I glanced to my right and the same thing was happening on my right. They swarmed my car from the sides first and tried to open the doors but all the doors were locked. They were screaming at me and beating on my car windows. Then I realized they were moving around in front of the car to block me in. There were maybe 40-50 of them. I floored it and drove as fast as I possibly could. I looked in the mirror and saw them all crowded In the street were I had just been. It was almost surreal in the semi-darkness. I drove and drove until I came upon what looked like a bigger street and turned West on it. I continued turning onto bigger, more used streets, a few times until I came across one that I recognized as major street in Memphis. I took it to the highway and headed home. I still get a chill when I think about that.

@Nitedoc that’s damn crazy. Good that you made it out of there. Those evil bastards deserve to eat some leads.

@SW-User There were too many of them at the time. Getting out of there quickly as possible is what saved my life.
