Yes. Twice.
First time I still held to my anti-gun beliefs and felt that handing over my wallet was the safest thing to do.
Second time I got my face smashed in, fought back with a knife and after making a police report it took me only two months to move to Indiana, get a gun and a permit.
Let me add to my count...
My brother came over to watch the game and asked to see my new purchase. He then proceeded to wave it around while talking with his hands. I informed him it was loaded. He said, "So, the safety is on right?" I replied with, "There is no safety, so if you wouldn't mind, stop pointing that thing at me." He then freaks out, puts the gun down and backs away like it might go off on it's own.... I love my non-gun family/friends, but I should really learn not to let them handle my guns.
Not being critical, I apologize. One of the first rules is you never hand someone a loaded gun to anyone. You never accept one unless its' been cleared.

Friend new to guns finished shooting my XDm on his land. I was reloading mags behind him. He finished and walked up to hand me the gun and did it with finger on trigger and pointed at me. I freaked and stepped to the side. When I got the gun I could see it was loaded. I said something to him and pointed down range and fired the last bullet. After taking like 15 minutes to teach him safety before starting and watching him handle the gun, it still wasn't enough. I fired the mag I loaded and shut it down.
I'll rarely go with someone new to guns and if I do, I don't take my eye off of them. I stand right behind them and tell them exactly what to do until I have the pistol in my hand.
