Gas: human "I-just-ate-fifty-cans-of-baked-beans" gas? Chlorine gas? Is the pin from a grenade? Is this in wartime? WWI? | ||

Was the gun pulled because of the gas? By the one who had gas? Was the gun a typical firearm-gun? A squirt gun? BB gun? Laser tag gun? Paintball gun? | ||

sorry I misread that... there are humans involved but the gas is not from humans. | ||

All right then... Gas: gasoline? Gas as in not-liquid-or-solid? Random guess: did a car backfire? And someone thought it was a gunshot? And pulled their gun? | ||

So "a man got gas": he bought gas at a gas station? Or did he fill it from a gas can? Did someone try to rob the gas station? | ||

Did the pin fail because the man got gas? Is your puzzle statement chronological? Was the gun pulled because the pin failed? Was the pin part of the gun? Did someone try to fire the gun, but the firing pin failed? any other guns relevant? Was the gas being stolen? | ||

PIN = personal identification number? The guy was paying for fuel, his card was declined, so someone pulled a gun on him? | ||

Is the pin a physical object? Did it break? Did a person pull the gun? A different person then the one getting gas? Did the gun-puller think something bad was happening? Something worse than the pin failing? Did the pin make a sound like a gunshot? Is the person with the gun a cop? Is the person HAM? Is the gun a real firearm? Is it legal? Is it pulled with the intention of: defense? Threatening someone? Shooting? | ||

Is the man intending to shoot someone? Something? Is the pin part of the gas pump? His car? | ||

Did the pin malfunction cause the gas to not shut off? To not start flowing? To raise the price? Did the man want to shoot the gas station owner? | ||

So the man bought gas, but a pin that was part of the gas pump failed, preventing the gas pump from shutting off, possibly causing his tank to overflow. In anger, the man pulled his gun and went to shoot the gas station owner, but didn't for reasons unknown. This good? | ||

******spoiler******** a man, the customer, was filling up his car when the safety overflow pin failed. This caused gas to spill out of his tank and onto his car and him. Angry the customer went inside the store pulled a gun and threaten to shoot the owner unless he paid for a car wash and dry cleaning. That's it. This actually happened to me over the weekend at a gas station I work at. I was at the register. My boss did give him a car wash and offer to pay for dry cleaning, then we wrote down the tag number and called the police when he left. Thanks for being understanding with my first puzzle and playing along. I will do more in the future thanks again | ||

Wow - that must have been scary. Smart move writing down the tag number. And great puzzle! | ||

It takes a certain kind of laziness to leave the nozzle in the car unwatched and just wait for the auto shut off to kick in. But to then threaten the owner's life over the malfunction of a machine he probably didn't even know how to repair--that takes an attitude! |
