How about these thought experiments:<p>A) A man walks in the street carrying a shotgun visibly<p>B) A man walks in the street waving around his shotgun<p>C) A group of men walk in the street waving around their shotguns and various rifles<p>D) A man points an unloaded gun at another man (a total stranger) in the street in broad day light.<p>I would argue all these are crimes because you are terrorizing people, even if you never injured anyone nor had the intention of injuring anyone.
