Yesterday afternoon I was taking my son to my inlaws house heading to the highway down the street and i come to a s curve and I drive threw it and I look into the woods and I see a gentleman aiming and kneeling in the direction I just drove passed. After the intial adrenaline dump I calmed and drove to my inlaws and dropped my son off and turned aroung and headed back home driving buy the same place slowly. I ook back in the woods to see if here still there and guess what he still was and I see a orange tip on the end of his rifle. So I stop and ask if I could talk to him and he said sure abit aggervated ask him if he could not point his rifle and I assume shoot at targets in the direction of traffic. He says he didnt understand what I was angry about and basically I was just giving some freindly advice and he proceeds to tell me that he is on private property with the owners permission to be there and that the sheriffs office told him that as long as hesd30 yds off the rod heine. Then I repeated my same question that he not point it in my direction and the he said there airsoft and that he has a conceled carry permit and tapped his right side thats when i got pissed and said so do I big deal.(probabley not wise but oh well) Then I just told him just trying to give him some friendly advice and I drove off and called the sheriffs department to check his story and behold they never heard from anyone in my area. Oh and by the way he was wearing a chest carrier and had three teenagers him him.

Yes you overreacted telling someone where to point their bb gun you observed going down the road. Lets assume it was a real gun, this would be a way to get yourself a shallow grave in the woods, going back to confront somebody with a gun not a smart move. He was aiming where you used to be, not at you, said so yourself, you do not know where he was aiming it when you drove by.

I think you over reacted but your adrenaline was already going and the confrontation had already began by the time you realized it was an airsoft. You were committed at that point and common sense wasn't going to factor in. Chalk it up to a bad choice and move on.
Edit: If you saw the orange tip and then decided to confront that makes it worse..... |

Quoted: Quoted: Wait, was he aiming an airsoft rifle? What's the big deal? This is what I'm wondering as well  ETA...I see it was airsoft. Somebody needs to lighten up a little  Yeah...no shit, huh! He needs to go paint his flash hiders orange. Oh....wait.... Everybody knows that anything with an orange muzzle is harmless and you should be able to point them at anybody you want to. Point a firearm at me and see how I react....I might even be colorblind....and it might even get shoved up the ass of the guy pointing it at me....orange end first.  |

I had a young kid shoot his airsoft pistol at me from across the street.
Pissed me off enough I went over and gave the pellet to his mom. She couldn't have cared less. I wondered the rest of the day how much trouble I would get into if I ripped the pistol from his cheetos covered fingers and stomped it to pieces. ETA: to OP, I agree with you. Pointing a gun at me, whether it is airsoft or not, is not cool. Especially if the only distinguishing feature is the orange tip. |

I wonder what a few thousand of those pellets would do inside a fuel tank. |

Yes, you did. From the initial adrenalin dump, to the return, to the tough guy "advice" and the CCW comment. You are w a y too much into this role you have cast for yourself. A shorter, less cool version of Dirty Harry. It's airsoft, for Christ's sake, not a Jihading Muslim terrorist. Learn to discern the difference. I know it's frustrating to carry a gun all day and not find any criminals to thwart. However, we just can't go around manufacturing our own to suit our Sheepdog fantasies. Even for Cops, it doesn't always work out to their benefit. For normal citizens, it's just a bad idea all the way around. |
