[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 716480, member: 2426"] Hyperbole much? Or just can't keep up with the discussion? [USER=3434]@GT_EE78[/USER] stated that pointing a weapon is only a misdemeanor. The statute he pointed out basically says that pointing a gun at a person, whether loaded or not is a misdemeanor. I pointed out that if you create fear in the other person, it is assault and that using a weapon to commit assault is a felony. The way I read the statutes, the mere action of pointing a gun at another person is a misdemeanor. If you don't use caution at a range and you accidentally point a gun at another person, it is a misdemeanor. If you point a gun at another person in a play, it would even be a misdemeanor. (Very unlikely to be prosecuted, but it is on the books) If you cause another person to fear bodily injury with a weapon, even if you don'y point it at them, that is a felony. [/QUOTE]
