Hitch hiking young and confronting armed America.?

When I was young I thumbed across America twice. Quick story. This nice hillbilly couple picked me up on my way home. They were fascinated cause I had hair down to my shoulder blades and seemed to want to make some sort of connection. Well, it was late and they welcomed me to stay at their place. I was rolling out my sleeping bag on their living room floor and the dude comes walking out of the bedroom with a deer rifle (had to be a .308) pointed right at me. Then he says, "This is just so you don't get any ideas after the lights are off." He tightens it on his shoulder and the damn gun goes off! Missed my head by inches. He starts squirreling out cryin, " I thought the safety was on, I thought the safety was on!!" There was a hole in the couch. We moved it and there was another hole in the floor. I said, "Who lives down there?" He said, "An old lady". I said, "I hope she doesn't have a hole in the top of her head." They dumped me back on the freeway at two in the morning. Have any similar stories??
