So you're admitting to wrongdoing - but you didn't know what else to do, right?Well first things first I know what I did was wrong! But it had to stop.
I was washing my truck today and my grandchildren were playing in the front yard (5) when two vehicles drive by very fast I mean racing fast, this p***ed me off they drove around the neighbor hood squeeling tires all through the neighbor hood. I went into the house and grabbed my pistol and they decided to drive by again this time I met them in the middle of the road, they both had to slam on their brakes. At which time I let them know they were done, and it would be a good idea to not drive down my street again. Well that's the mild version of it. Wife went nuts said I will be lucky if I don't go to jail. Nothing happened except neighbor came out and said thanks, we have a lot of kids in this neighbor hood and at the time I thought it was justifiable. The question is this, what would you have done?

Agreed, but in the interest of taking a dumb story and turning it into education:
"(b) A person who knowingly or intentionally points a firearm at another person commits a Class D felony. However, the offense is a Class A misdemeanor if the firearm was not loaded."
Ind. Code § 35-47-4-3
"Oh, but I didn't point it, you say to officer friendly?"
"Well the guys in the cars say you did as do their passengers. It's your word against 4....hands behind back, please."
Minor thread derailment... I went to taco bell the other day and they were out of CHIPS!!! How does that happen?! A "Mexican restaurant" that ran out of chips? I thought the end of the world had come a few weeks early. Thread re-engage...
Hell, I think you went easy on them. The last time I went to Taco Bell they were out of green onions so I pistol whipped 2 elderly ladies that were working for bingo money and hopped the counter. Once over the counter I held a kid's face in the bag o' meat warmer.
What if the OP was open carrying when he walked out in the street to confront the punks.
He doesn't touch or mention the gun during the conversation.
Any laws broken?
We are being punked I think.
