Three drunk pax.

During the ride, they are all trying to get a rise out of me - unsuccessfully. The conversation turns to hunting and guns. At the end of the ride, one of the pax asks if I’m carrying. I don’t answer.

The pax directly behind me says, “I have a pistol” and proceeds to dig his two fingers into my neck for 3-4 seconds. (I didn’t know for sure that it was his fingers until I reviewed the dash cam footage).

Incident reported to Uber support. Rider’s account is suspended. Support wants to see the dash cam footage.

I would have called the police. Uber support isn't going to help you, they'll be taking rides again tomorrow
I still may call the police. It's at least an assault.

This occurred close to the 0200 hour, and I didn't want to lose money by getting stuck for several hours waiting for (and giving a statement to) the PD.

I also wanted a chance to review the dash cam footage to make sure that I remembered it correctly.

Call the police.
If this guy did this to you, he's done and will do other crimes.

I’ve called the police before when 2 people wouldn’t wake up from my car. It took about 30 minutes for them to show up, but 3 officers came. I’ve had another pax threaten to kill me before but I didn’t call then. If somebody actually pointed a perceived gun at me I’d be done for the week. Even if you carry like me it’s just too difficult when the person is behind you

If it ever happens again I'd call police ASAP. Within seconds.

If it had been an actual gun, I'd agree.

For the few seconds that the fingers were in my neck, I didn't know what he was pointing at me - and it was frightening. His demeanor and movements afterward made me 90% sure that it was not a gun.

I doubt that a simple assault report (not in progress, no confirmed weapon) have been a high priority for the PD at/near bar closing.

It might make those punks skedaddle fast.

Strongly agree. Those punks will get theirs at some point. "What goes around, comes around".

Also report to police. This is assault.
