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.

Wow - they grow they mean in Idaho. Acting stupid and showing off for each other.

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.

The fact that he aggressively touched you is Assault but there were three of them and drunk. Best to take a full offensive stance and get rid of them ASAP, I think.
You cannot tell the difference between two fingers with nails at 98.6 degrees and a cold metal gun barrel in your neck ?

Guns are usually cold. Fingers usually aren't.
Can you summarize?
There's a dumb question thread, perhaps they can help you there?

I don't often have guns pointed at my neck. Plus, I had a collar. Thanks for the thought though.
