    I feel like pointing out that it was a splat gun and not a firearm is pretty important.

    And because I know I have to say it even though it should be obvious, no, that does not make it ok.

      If the protestors who drew their weapons made this guy take the room temperature challenge instead of showing restraint, they would have likely been justified in the eyes of the law, and rightly so. When someone brandishes a weapon from a vehicle, or under the partial cover of a vehicle, it’s not on the defender to check and make sure it’s a real gun. Pulling gun shaped toys in public is a really bad idea and should have fatal consequences.
