Although nobody is sexually assaulted, a woman is pulled into a car by strange young men who treat her disrespectfully. Sexual threats are not part of the scene but it deliberately evokes a fear of sexual assault

No. Near the end of the film, a man has a gun because he's afraid for the main character's life. It is only shown for about 2 seconds. He does not use it.
