Re: 0 Days Since Last Shooting: Guns, Guns, And More Guns
While I am not a lawyer or legal scholar, it seems to me the operative word in the statute ("It is unlawful for a person to present or point at another person a loaded or unloaded firearm.")
is "at". Most, if not all states have laws against brandishing. The Congressman's actions failed to reach the definition of brandishing. While arguably silly, they were little more than a publicity stunt. Not dissimilar to the SC Dems response.
