We were at a military funeral Friday, 3 M-14's pointed up ~45 degrees, and about 90 degrees away from the family.

Pointing a rifle at anyone, even with blanks, in many states, is assault. I can think of a couple states that may elicit the drawing of weapons or G forbid, return fire.

And by the way, welcome.
