Don't be too quick to get your gun out, folks. The moment you point a gun, make someone else aware that you have a gun for the purpose of changing their behavior, you've just checked all the boxes for aggravated assault with a firearm, with a deadly weapon. That's a felony good for 10 to 20 years in most jurisdictions, often more time with a gun sentencing enhancement on top of that. Now, you have to justify that conduct as lawful self-defense. The moment you've made someone aware that you have a gun and are prepared to use it for the purpose of changing their behavior, that's arguably aggravated assault with a deadly weapon good for 10 to 20 years in prison, maybe more, unless you can now effectively argue that affirmative defense of self-defense. So there's a burden on you now.
