Making your brother or buddy dive to the ground screaming like a schoolgirl is just plain FUNNY.
I don't really see the humor in doing that to your buddy, I have serious ethical issues with it. Any kind of humor that involves using firearms and aiming them at your so called friends?????
Now playing that joke on your teenage son, that is funny. Better yet, the 19 year old, hoo boys that would be great.

He never said his friend AIMED the gun at his other friend. He said something along the lines of pretending to shoulder the gun.
Bah some people, and they wonder why they are bald and have grey hair at 40 years old. Everybody needs a sense of humor!

Seems a good Thread can only end up being dropped over replies here.
Sorry but I have to reply to this as I think it is a very good thread and have had this happen to myself. Humon's will always make mistakes and this type of a mistake is plan stupid, but its something that a lot of hunters do not think about because they feel they are the only people in the woods at the time or place.
I agree very much with the reply that if you can afford a scope on your rifle you can afford a set of Binos.
As the thoughts of having this happen, you can feel the threatening running all over you. Thinking becomes distorted and panic sets in. In fact the gun holder does not know the feeling your in because he's on the other side of the firearm.
On the highest level the gun holder is not a person killer , he is a hunter for wild game that is ignorant to what he has done wrong. He will never understand untill he ends up in the same situation as you have.
I would confront him is at all possible, and when I did I would ask to see his firearm. Set the gun aside and then have a talk with him as my firearm is unloaded at the time. I will explain to him what he did wrong and when he got the picture wether in a understanding method or in a arguement, he would soon get the same feeling I had before the chat begain. You don't have to aim the gun at him, but rather movements that create the feeling that he is going to get the barrel pointed at him will apply the same feeling that you had when scoped, the feeling of Panic of life.
Most times if this person is respectable he will get the picture very clear and understand what he did was something more then wrong and will never forget this talk.
Now thats a smooth respectable approch to try and will level the ball field.
As I stated I had had this happen and there was shots fired, yes at my direction not on a perpose bases but this happened on a road. As I drove around a sharp bend on a country road, a deer ran in front of my truck, I mean I hit the breaks fast as the deer almost disapeared under the front. As the deer hit the road shots started at the same time and continued untill the deer was on the other side. The shots fired was from a shotgun slugs that came from a hunter in the ditch that did not see or hear my truck. They had to go under the truck with the direction I was and the hunter was shooting, there was No other explanation.
The look on the hunter face was stunning but I was so mad that I cranked the truck in 4 wheel and drove down into the ditch beside the hunter. I proceeded to ask him what he was thinking and I got the attitude of I did know wrong. That infact ticked me off so I asked him if he was unloaded and had him show me, and then I pulled out my firearm and kept the barrel close but not at him and asked him to look down my barrel. This guys was plan scared ####less and as I knew from his talking and body movements, I asked him if he liked that look, How do you feel, is the gun loaded or empty ?
needless to say but I got an apploigy and some respect when I decided the learning section was over. I knew the landower they were on and I never did see them again after that fall. No officials were called and I'm sure that was best as a stupid mistake would not be made again....

We are not talking about a silly little mistake here... but a life threatening situation.
Calm and sensible dialogue isn't going to make your point with anyone stupid enough to ignore basic hunter safety and the law!
Anyone who points a gun at me or mine is going to get a tune up... and if they don't like what they are hearing and choose to argue then I will escalate the debate appropriately.
I am dead serious.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that PSE was actually looking for a "sensible" recommendation. You my friend might just end up wearing a size 12 boot up where the sun don't shine and getting into a bit more trouble than you bargained for. Care to rethink this ??? and don't forget that you suggested singing to a guy that just had a gun pointed at you. Oh and don't forget that if he in fact catches you putting a knife in his tire...well then two size 12 boots, or worse.

I vote for 'e'... find out who he is, (shouldn't be too hard) and call the cops. A Criminal offence will lose him his right to a rifle (and send a message to other morons), get him outta your woods for good without any immediate or dangerous confrontation, and to make some of you happy: get him ###ed up real good in prison.... without getting your size twelves dirty
real good in prison.... without getting your size twelves dirty gitrdun said:

Now I know you're either twelve or a girl, those were the last times I was refered to as smarty pants. Go back to your spelling bee, but before you do so, go and check your past 30 some odd posts for smart ass comments. Don't mistake the X-Box for reality dude.
