Brandishing is definitely a crime, but unless you can get your daughter to testify, it won't go anywhere.
However, she did commit a felony when she recklessly pointed the pistol at your face.

Call the police, get a report filed, explain the situation, and see if they can...
With the recent mass layoffs, it's only a matter of time before the Indy Red Star shuts down for good.
Good riddance.
Maybe Tully will have to get an honest job.
Tully is a leftist hack.
It's hilarious how ignorant of the law he can be and how much he is in the pocket of corrupt politicians and business interests in Indy.
(which is surprising given his 'liberal' leanings and enthusiasm for Democrat causes)
His column isn't an editorial, it's a propaganda...
I have a Ft. Knox safe that has been in my garage for the past 4 years. There's one of the Remington plug in to recharge dehumidifiers thrown in by the long guns.
I recharge it every couple of weeks.
Never seen a spot of rust on any of my guns.
Never seen a spot of rust on any of my tools...
I agree with most of what has been said here.
I do not envy your situation, but I am confident that you will be able to resolve it.
It would be a real bummer if your son didn't get such an awesome gift.
I wish my parents had given me a firearm for a birthday present.
From my perspective, I...

So, following the OP's scenario, you walk outside visibly armed...
Found an old article about Obama/Joyce on foxnews.com
So, it seems that the Joyce Foundation makes it's own money at this point. That $1 Billion must be invested and has to generate a sizeable chunk of change each year.
Found this link the other day:

Not a secret by any means, but anti-gun organizations don't exactly want to make this information widely known.
These jerks get quoted in the drive-by media all the time as if they were some sort...
I think that if playing with toy guns caused kids to become dangerous, murderous adults that everybody everywhere would be dead by now.
We made toy guns out of PVC pipe, spray paint and duct tape when I was a kid.
Damn right my kids will have them.
A fine way to teach firearm safety too.
:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: Newsweek?! People still read that garbage?
Not directed at the OP; it just makes me laugh when halfwits like the writers at Time and Newsweek pretend to be 'serious' journalists.
All these anti-gun nuts dancing in the blood of innocent victims makes me sad...
There have been some good suggestions in this thread.
OP, your idea for the wall that the vault door will sit in is ok. That's what I would put in front of a double-thickness filled and rebar reinforced cinderblock wall.
Remember, if this is in your basement, anyone trying to break into it...

Found it.
Mike Hilton sounds cranky.
I'd rather drive 2 hours to Roush Lake or Atterbury and shoot in the cold than spend money at Pop's.
OK, there is no prohibition for 'brandishing' a weapon in Indiana, but that merely reduces this to an argument of semantics.
If you can be arrested, charged, and convicted of a crime for the exact same type of behavior, does it matter what it's called?
I'm not trying to be argumentative; it's...
This is definitely NOT true.
While IN may not have a 'brandishing' law, if you choose to 'whip it out' in public, you may be charged with:
Criminal Recklessness
or
Pointing a Firearm
Both are a D Felony
You know what that means... no more firearms for you!
My wife is a public defender and...
koveras225 you are correct. The DD designation is a 'process of elimination' determination, yet it is ultimately what we're dealing with.
However, their regulations are intentionally vague so that they may apply them however they wish.
The NFA needs to go. So does GCA86, among others...
I'm reading this conversation with interest. Some good suggestions here.
My wife is a criminal defense attorney, and I've got her number memorized :D
I don't see how much it matters to me if I have a number of a good lawyer handy or not... it won't change the fact that I will say NOTHING to...
