Father Kit Cool Gun Garth 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantankerous 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex Wilson 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloe Moe 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry T Harrison 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake River Clay SASS #34984 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.

Buffalo Creek Law Dog 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Brules 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
