Outsider77, WHAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND about a 3x FELON pointing a gun at someone????  Just the fact that he had a GUN in his hand is a Probation Violation.     How many chances do you want to give a 3x  FELON,  10 more, 15 more?????   

This situation could have EASILY been a "MURDER", HOMICIDE,    Now what would your BLAH, BLAH, BLAH be?
