On The Need For Gun Control

I work for a major home goods company delivering and installing complex devices such as stoves and washing machines.

One time, we went to a house to set up a new stove. The homeowner was in the living room watching TV. He had a pistol on the nightstand next to his chair.

After my partner and I finished setting up the stove, as we were leaving, the homeowner pointed the gun at us and demanded we empty our wallets. We did.

We got back into the van and reported to our manager what had happened. We were told to wait outside the home. After a bit of a wait, the police showed up. We got our money back. The homeowner claimed it was “just a prank”.

When the police asked if we wanted to press charges, we said yes.
