#1 Pointing a gun at somebody who allegedly rammed into your car, while reversing is and should be an offense. Siwat-u-Salama was not under immediate threat, from the stupid driver.

And giving a Siwat-u-Salama a concealed permit was the real crime. This CAIR darling just gamed the system and came out on top.

What America needs is blatant unfairness, to nip the enemies of state and citizens in the bud. And that is what some courts and cops try for. But everybody's not on the same page. Some have got bright lights in their eyes and the blue bug of idealism in their ass.

#2 In the great state of Arizona our laws have changed. Brandishing, removing the weapon from the holster, is not a crime and you can walk around holding it out of the holster all day. When you point it at someone the laws change. Shows intent to use.

#4 Seems to me that if you escalate with an unloaded gun, your adversary is liable to escalate with a loaded gun. That could be embarrassing.

#5 Abu, I think you misspelled "fatal" as "embarrassing".

#6 Pretty sure if someone was using their vehicle to ram a vehicle with mine inside it would be Frank Hamer vs. Clyde.

Now, impact already made, child out of vehicle, so long as opponent isn't trying to pull a Christine the threat is over I'd think.

Her CC class should have covered brandishing even an unloaded firearm is bad bad bad. My instructor went on to note what Abu stated, could get really bad.

Sounds like Arizona has it right, casual carry whether a firearm, or hammer, or hands ok - show intent to harm and blop, better have a reason. Now some people are unarmed, and some people are empty-handed, that is your person habitually involved in a sport/activity requiring physical contact, your person trained in a martial art, your person with a history of assault are likely to cause grave harm with a punch or grapple, thus they act the fool they are not unarmed but empty-handed. I'd call any aggressive motion where a hand goes above the shorter person's chest is a potentially grievous strike/grapple.

#7 I do believe if i was going too pull a gun, it would be loaded.

The only time my firearms are unloaded is when I clean them.
