There's much information on this forum about the proper, lawful use of firearms. I ran into an article just a few minutes ago, Comcast Rage: Customer Pulls Gun During Technician Visit, and although the comments on the article are all backlashing against Comcast itself, in other circles, some of the antis are holding it up as yet another reason to ban guns entirely.
Clearly, brandishing one's firearm at an ISP's technician who knocked on the door to ask for the return of his tools is not a lawful use of one's firearm, particularly after stealing his bag of tools.
I'm starting this thread as a means of demonstrating our support for the lawful use of firearms, by identifying instances where firearms were used in a questionable or less than lawful manner. This isn't for flagrantly illegal acts. We are familiar with those. This thread is here to discuss acts which do cross the line, and why. By sharing some stories, I hope we can better define that line between lawful and unlawful.
