    Two events. The first was late in my senior year of high school. I had an older friend named Mike, who was a reserve deputy sheriff in the county where I (we) lived. I would frequently ride along with him on patrols after school (or on weekends.) On one occasion, he (we) got a "domestic dispute" call (which I found out was considered the single most dangerous call that existed, as they're always emotional and everyone can turn on you at the snap of a finger.) It turned out to be a setup/ambush, someone just wanted to kill a cop. We arrived at the address, which turned out to be an abandoned two-story house. A split second after we both got out of the unit, there was a loud "SPLANG!" sound, followed by a distant gunshot. The shooter missed me by less than a foot, hitting the front-right fender next to me. Mike and I both kissed dirt at light speed and he called for "immediate backup / shots fired." Four additional units were on scene in less than ten minutes. (It seemed like months.) After that, more units arrived, along with a forensics unit, and EMS (which wasn't necessary.) They recovered the slug from the fender and later identified it as coming from a 30-06. Neither the shooter, nor the point of fire, were ever located.

    Second was when I was in the Corps. I worked EOD and spent most of my time "decommissioning" old munitions. This means taking countless truckloads of old artillery and mortar shells, bombs, personal munitions, you name it, out to a very remote location, arranging everything in a tight, energy-efficient package, and then letting an officer push the plunger. The greatest danger is that, with some of the REALLY old explosives, you can get it to spontaneously detonate just by looking at it cross-eyed! We had this happen on several occasions, well before we got to what the manual called "minimum safe distance." There were times that I wondered if I was ever going to recover my hearing!

    Go out on a date with Roger. He was a biker, always carried a gun and seemed to attract trouble everywhere he goes. We stopped at a bar, well few bars, and he found trouble. He wouldn't listen to me and got into a fight then arrested, and I got knocked down in the process. I don't know what I was thinking.
