Which is strange because I've driven almost 4 years and never had it happen before. One guy I took to the gun shop and he was picking up what he called the most accurate handgun for competition shooting. The other guy I had been warned that he might wanna go shooting out in the woods by the night driver who referred me to him. We're sitting at his doctor's office and he was like "Don't freak out" and pulled out his 9mm, and emptied the clip and chamber and left gun in cab while he went in. I drove him all around town that day and he called me the next morning to go shooting. We drove way outside of town to BLM land and blew off rounds for about 2 hours. He was like "ou and I are some crazy mfers, here I am shooting my new gun with a stranger in the woods, and you a taxi driver agreeing to this." What other job can you get $310 to drive a guy shopping, to the doctor, and go plinking on his dime?

Did he let you shoot his gun? Otherwise this sounds pretty awful.

I had a dream. It was an incredible dream. When I awoke, I had a huge mess to clean up.

You must have many interesting stories. Do you wonder why he just doesnt drive himself?

Yeah, I shot the gun. We brought a bunch of water bottles, a 2X4 and candles to shoot at. He used to drive, but has problem with his ankle. He also said he usually goes to the doctor twice a month and does his shopping on those trips and it costs him around the same as owning a car. He lives in a big house in the south hills, a ritzy area of Eugene.

You should start an "Ask Me Anything..." thread about being a cabby, man.

And your prints are now all over his gun.


Grats on being set up.

I had considered that. I figure the GPS data stored at dispatch of me picking him up at his house and driving out to McGowan Creek Rd, an area known for shooting would cover that.

Another strange tidbit, maybe you can fit this into your conspiracy theory. He brought a mini-cassette recorder and recorded us shooting. He said he wanted to put the sound of emptying the clip on his answering machine.
