Pooflake says: Tell us your stories of conflict. From the pettiest row that got out of hand, through full blown battles involving mass brawls and destruction to your real war / army stories.

Hiking holiday in Azerbaijan a few years ago
I foolishly went walking alone one evening, and a local kid tried to rob me, pointing his rifle at me; locals can't usually afford ammo, so a kid waving a gun at me, I assumed it was empty; I snatched it from him, angrily pointed it at his stomach, and then pantomimed pulled the trigger to give him a good scare.
Unfortunately, it was really loaded. I'd never used a rifle before and was holding it wrong, and my shoulder was bruised and hurt for weeks.

I am shocked and appalled that you shot someone and have shown no remorse.

I was going with "Joke".
Standard bait-and-switch humour. Within topic; overall works well, even if the subject material is a little tasteless.

Indeed
The motivation wasn't clear though, the jump to pointing it into the kid's stomach didn't flow well.

that you're shocked and appalled that someone shot a thief, and you want them to feel badly about it......should happen more often (the shooting of theives that is).
