I wouldn't even point a gun I KNEW was empty at anyone or pull the trigger. Know two young people who were killed by empty guns in the last yr.
When I was 22 years old my buddy was over and my dad had left his 44 mag sitting on the table while he went and did something. I heard my buddy say "Hey Paul" I turned and the 44 was pointing directly in my face and he said "Go ahead punk make my day".
I was pissed! I told him to put the gun down and if he ever pointed a gun at me again he'd better plan on killing me because if he didn't I was going to kill him.
I didn't know it but my dad had seen and heard the whole thing, a couple of days later he asked me If I'd really kill him, I said probably not but I'd definitely beat him with a baseball bat.
Dad thought that was pretty funny.
