My 80 year old father was threatened by a gun nut

My father was upset that somebody took a parking spot he was waiting for. He started to say something to the man. The man didn't want to listen to my dad's complaint. He just lifted up his shirt to show my dad his gun. This occurred in the parking lot of a Las Vegas hospital.

1. Did a police report get filed?

Brandishing is illegal in most places.

3. I don't think he did

My father, who is a liberal and has never owned a gun also helped get his son-in-law off in a charge of carrying a gun in a vehicle without a permit. My father aggressively did the research and fed the public defendant the information.

However, my brother-in-law, eventually did kill himself with a handgun, less than a year later.

2. Brandishing is a felony in most states but it is damned hard to prove

Without witnesses.

4. In this state

a believable story combined with an accurate description of a persons concealed weapon is usually sufficient for a complaint.

5. And I bet the gun nut was proud of himself

Proud that he used his firearm to intimidate an 80 year old man over a parking space

6. He should have follwed the guy in the hospital

and notified security. I don't think you're supposed to be taking guns into hospitals.

7. Some hospitals allow it, some do not.
