Also, generally speaking, aside from some insane murderhobo, people WILL give you some sort of verbal warning before throwing lead at you. Even if it's the racking sound.

It's really hard for me to see someone taking a wrong turn and being shot at by some homeowner. By some thug in the ghetto, maybe, but even then...what's the point. Thug probably would want your stuff.

This is partly why these stories stink.
