Thinking outside the box

Interesting. I dunno what the penalties for doing that would be, but its probably better than drawing down on the yahoo.

PS I'm a LEO, but I answered this question from the POV of a CCW permit holder. The main thing that would prevent me from drawing down on him as a cop would be the likelihood of my action making the situation worse- either as a hostage situation or a backstop formed of scattering people. If it came down to that, I would hope the (supposed) prankster soiled his undies.
