I've been in a newspaper before, it was 6 years ago, but I'll have you know it didn't come from a pleasant experience, or anything of any good whatsoever...

Back when I lived in Ontario ( lived there most of my life, and want to move back there. >_< ), sometimes while my mother was working, we (me and the rest of the family (my brother, and my father)) go in to town to just browse around in stores, and get a few supplies we need.

Anyways, one day, when we came from the dollar store with my new toy gun with the ORANGE tip on it ( >.< ), and went back to wait at the car for a bit, I was just outside checking it out.

What I did was pretty stupid though, even though it did clearly have a bright orange tip at the end of it...I was pointing the gun at passing traffic pulling the trigger as if trying to hit fast moving objects...

Then when my mother gets out from work and gets in the car, just as we're pulling out of the parking spot, there are police behind us shouting to stop the car, they had guns drawn and everything, a traumatic experience indeed...

One by one each of us got out of the car, and were checked for if any of us had a weapon on us ( -_-' ), then eventually checked the car and found the TOY gun...

Afterwards somebody ( not a policemen this time ) came and asked a few questions, including my age, and when the papers came out, my age was listed as a year younger than I was at the time. >_>

Well, that's it. It was a pretty frightening experience, I had feared for me and the family's lives, and it was totally unnecessary, but everything in life isn't supposed to be fun, so I'm glad an event like that is out of the way, nothing like that has ever happened since then, thank goodness.
