A Long­denville man es­caped se­ri­ous in­jury when an ar­gu­ment over miss­ing gro­ceries es­ca­lat­ed to a strug­gle over a gun on Wednes­day night.

Po­lice said the 30-year-old man was leav­ing his Flem­ming Street, home around 8 pm when he was con­front­ed by a rel­a­tive who asked about the miss­ing food­stuff that was sent by an­oth­er fam­i­ly mem­ber.

The con­ver­sa­tion es­ca­lat­ed to an ar­gu­ment, and the rel­a­tive promised to get a gun and re­turn.
