My friend and I had been playing paintball today and were on the way home. He was fiddling around with his Black Magic 'cocker and stuff when we hear a police car siren. We pull over and he pulls up behind. I wasn't speeding so we figured it was just because of the paintball gun...but it was much more than that.
He yells to get out of the car and I look in the mirror to see him and he's got his pistol out and is pointing it at us. We get out and he yells for us to lay face down on the ground with our hands behind our backs. We then get cuffed, and questioned a bit as to if there were any other weapons and such. We get frisked and sit there awhile. This also happened to be at a fairly busy street in town where EVERYBODY was staring at us as they went by (plenty of people I knew too). After about a half hour we were uncuffed. We didn't actually have any guns and it was explained to us that some lady told the police someone in my car pointed some sort of gun at her (which of course he didn't do, atleast not on purpose). We drive to the police station and then we talk and fill out a paper and stuff. They took our guns (both of mine were in a sealed bag, but they took them anyway) and just a few minutes ago they called me up and told me I could pick up my markers. I think it helped that the friend I had with me was the former police chiefs son.
Everything seems to have turned out alright. There haven't been any charges pressed. I guess it was sorta cool, it's not something you see/are in everyday. I wasn't nervous at all the whole time, I knew that we'd done nothing wrong at all. Everyone needs to remember that paintball markers should be kept out of site at all times, whether you're walking down the street with one, if you're in a car, or whatever.
