Doesn't matter what it is, knife, gun, etc...everything should be treated as its intent was to do bodily harm. As for a firearm, Ive been around them for years. I go to the range on an almost weekly basis...I still don't like a firearm that I know is not loaded, to point in direction of something that isn't planned to be destroyed. Ive seen stupid people flail an unloaded (and yes on a few occasions a loaded) firearm around like it was a toy...it's why I believe stupid people should be shot.
