[QUOTE="Hawgman, post: 1995358, member: 7676"] I am in no way, shape or form intending to make light of what this guy was doing let alone advocate it. He should be dealt with harshly by the law. What he was doing by no means be considered funny or excusable. My only point is that I can not see how a guy playing with himself would ever cause a person to think their life is in danger. Apparently she didn't feel her life was in danger because she stayed right there and took the time to load and make ready. They were in an open public place and could have quite casually walked away and called the cops. She may have been startled, offended, shocked even but no way would a reasonable and sane person think she was about to die. Now a person might accuse me of splitting hairs (probably a poor choice of analogy) but when you carry a handgun you are expected to do just that. It's a very serious thing to point a deadly weapon at someone. If you do so the circumstances need to be questioned to see if you are being irresponsible with it. Just because it was a shocking and startling situation doesn't mean it's justified to point a loaded gun at someone and threaten to blow their brains out. Had my wife or daughter done this I would expect them to stop carrying a gun till they get their mindset in order. [/QUOTE]
