Worth a read IMO.

Odd all the around. He should be acquitted.

And just the other day there was a long article from another gun board talking up showing your gun to break off an altercation...possibly WHO you altercate is important

On the surface I don't see why the guy has a problem, but then this is the news story.

Someone acted toward him in what he believed was a threating manner, he showed his gun...did he point ?...or threaten ?...or just " display " ??

A holstered gun is not a threat, it is not disturbing the peace, it is not an assault...IDK, on the surface it looks like it's who you show it too, like in some sex assault cases I guess.

If you shake it at a whore it's one thing and at a policewoman undercover ...quite another. Selective enforcement ...
