Where were the Henrico cops? (Yes, I know they are set up along the side wall, away from the main lobby area.)
Where were all the folks yelling "muzzle" or whatever the preferred term is when some jerk starts waving a gun around?
Where were the folks who should have been bringing the behavior and the magazine-inserted condition to the attention of either the cops or the promoter's staff?
I'm more in favor of, and personally inclined to, walking over, grabbing the arm doing the gun waving and hauling it high into the air while sharing a few well-chosen words with the person than I am to tattling to the cops or the promoter - but somebody should have been doing something besides ducking and dodging. Thanks to the person who asked him to take his finger off the trigger - and a few lashes with a wet noodle for not doing to sooner. Everybody else gets lashes and harsh words. The OP gets an extra helping of both.
Us keyboard kommandos have no way of knowing the intentions of the gun-waving idiot, but it seems those that were in attendance and knew of the situation decided not to draw down on the guy and create a circular firing squad. But only one person spoke up? Makes me want to assign the whole brigade of Keyboard Kommandos to KP duty.:banghead: The only ones who were behaving even worse were those this jerk was talking with/to while waving his gun around.
Folks, we are all responsible for the safety of everybody else in a situation like that. If you are not willing to go tell the jerk to take his finger off the trigger and unload-and-make-safe then for goodness sake at least warn the rest of the crowd of the danger.
stay safe.
