Father Kit Cool Gun Garth 6,669 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 It becomes illegal when you fail to keep your sign language alphabet in a safe position. Pointing up is safe and appropriate. Link to post Share on other sites
Pat Riot, SASS #13748 22,476 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Well, it’s a good thing he didn’t make a peanut butter sammich in the shape of a gun and use that...someone might have spilled their milk! Link to post Share on other sites

Dantankerous 4,351 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Flipping the bird, which results in many road rage cases escalation to physical violence is protected "speech" but a finger gun gesture is now a crime? Wow. Remind me to never use my Clint Eastwood squint at someone in public. Oh, soooooo scary! Probably be illegal soon to order your steak served "bloody" lest someone hear you and feign horror. I'm sure the list of offending offenses will become infinate. Link to post Share on other sites
Forty Rod SASS 3935 7,209 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I think we should form a protest group and descend upon the court to demand that hands and fingers be subject to back ground checks, high taxes, and severe restrictions........unlike those that supreme court justices and other public employees, elected, appointed, or hired, are subjected to. If you choose to join this protest be absolutely certain that you carry and brandish your hands and fingers. Link to post Share on other sites

Arizona Gunfighter 391 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Just another example of what a red flag law will do to law abiding American citizens. Next we will need a CCW permit if we want to wear gloves. Link to post Share on other sites

Sloe Moe 52 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Is "pew pew pew" still protected speech? Or is it more akin to yelling "FIRE" in a crowded theater? Link to post Share on other sites

Henry T Harrison 1,263 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I’m sorry but if you read the article this goes well beyond innocently forming a “gun” with your hand. This could easily be interpreted as an absolute threat to shoot someone Link to post Share on other sites
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 449 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 They had confrontations before with this neighbor and the woman he was walking with had a no contact order with him. Not a good idea to make that gesture with the previous history. Link to post Share on other sites
Snake River Clay SASS #34984 99 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 1980, the day the US hockey team won the gold medal, I was driving from the Catskills to the Long Island. Traffic was horrible on 95 in Westchester going into the toll. I was crawling along behind a car with 2 kids looking out the back window, bored to tears. I made a finger gun and pretended to shoot. They perked up and started "shooting " back. I ducked down behind the wheel and we had a little fake shoot out for a while. I wouldn't do that today. Link to post Share on other sites
Buffalo Creek Law Dog 355 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 We have gamers that do this all the time before they are called to the firing line. Some still do it while on the firing line before they say that they are ready to shoot. Link to post Share on other sites

Cat Brules 1,726 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 The only thing wrong in this incident in my view is that the guy hasn’t filed suit against the finger flipping neighbor, her friends who “felt threatened,” the police and municipality who cited him, and the court/municipality who also violated his civil rights. Another goofy, big government stunt from the Socialistas. Link to post Share on other sites
