Liability for pointing a gun at a minor
Dear PAO,The teenage son of my neighbor and his friends are always hanging around at night by the road in front of my house. Their unruly behavior disturbs my sleep. One night, I asked them to go home, but they just laughed and ignored me. In a fit of anger, I took my gun and pointed it at the son of my neighbor. They immediately scampered to different directions. Their parents are now accusing me of child abuse.
Unlike other objects that may be used to hurt a child, a gun serves no other purpose than to cause injury or death. In the hands of a person with ill-motive, the objective to injure or kill could be achieved; in the hands of a person with good intentions, the objective to repel an unlawful aggression may be accomplished. In these cases, one has to cause injury in order to achieve either objective.
