Wow That is exactly why my lawyer made the suggestion of drawing but holding the gun against your leg pointing at the ground. It's hard to infer intent when clearly the gun is NOT pointed at someone.
That reminds me of the line in "Young Guns" when Billy the Kids says" I've killed 26 men, not counting Mexicans and Indians "........
On two of the three occasions I had to display my weapon, *I* was the one who called the police.
Both times the cops volunteered that I did the right thing (by displaying the weapon).
Yep. The "offense" is in the mind of the beholder. In your case it matters not that the two people were soliciting contributions to the Home For Abused Otters. What YOU saw and concluded is the ONLY thing that matters.
If, of course, your apprehension agreed with the "reasonable man" test...
LOL We were just discussing a running gag in the series Due South, where the main character acquired a scar on his chest, while in grade school, because another student has swung a dead otter at him..
He 'otter' know better than to take offense!
