The politics of this stuff actually drive confrontations towards a shooting. I agree gun shouldn’t come out unless the person is in fear for their life. In other words they have justification to shoot. Here’s where it gets sticky. In drawing a gun it can end the threat without shots being fired. What the activist are causing now is the gun owner who pulls a gun and doesn’t shoot is guilty of brandishing. What we need are solid Federal guide lines that can’t be used for political activism. Think about it, you have citizens that are law abiding their whole lives. One of these issues comes up, no shots fired and nobody hurt or injured. Why would an DA want to file charges and prosecute such people? It doesn’t make sense trying to send people to jail and ruin them except if it’s political or personal. Either way it’s misconduct that needs oversight. There is too much of this type of cases being used by political hacks. What does this say about the character of the DA.
