You were a lucky man...sometimes robbers will "neutralize" any witnesses , not to mention the chance of being shot by the coppers if a shootout should occur.

Actually the shotgun did go off after he moved it from the back of my head and blew a hole through the seat right next to me and blew a hole in the door. When he asked me to stop and let him out he actually paid the fare on the meter which had been running the whole time. My wife saw it reported on the TV news and contacted me at police HQ.



Yikes! You were lucky to have any hearing left after a blast like that going off in the car...not to mention having the other vital parts of your body left intact as well.

Years ago, an old drinking buddy of mine fired off just a .22 cal magnum revolver in the back seat of a car (he was shooting out the open rear door window), and that left my ears ringing for days afterwards...that shotgun would have been so much louder.

You were a very, very fortunate man to get away unscathed...and you also still made the fare...cool!
