ROSEMOUNT, Minn. (KMSP) -

It's yet another instance of a neighbor puling a gun on a neighbor. This time, it happened in Rosemount, Minn. while a father was teaching his 7-year-old daughter how to ride a bicycle.

Gary Drake, 61, is facing second-degree assault and terroristic threat charges after he was accused of brandishing a shotgun on Daytona Way last week.

It's an idyllic street, but neighbors there like to talk. When Jeanne Helgeson heard rumors that a well-known neighbor had threatened someone with a gun, she didn't believe it -- until her next-door neighbor confirmed the details, that is.

"I've never seen a gun come out of that house ever," Helgeson said.

Allison Nelson saw the arrest.

Maybe he thought that the dad (not knowing he was the dad) was trying to abduct her. Good lawyer defense.

Now he’s going to be a felon.

Good. He can't own guns, then.

That guy should NEVER be allowed to even touch a firarm again.
I’m as RKBA as can be, but even one misuse of even a BB gun should get someone thrown in the slammer for a long while, disenfranchised and prevented from ever even touching so much as a cap gun again.

With all rights come responsibilites, and ever idiot who screws around with a firarm for any reason other than hunting, legitimate self defense or target practice is merely a tool of the gun grabbers.

But then I thought what happened to Rodney King is what should happen to everyone who blows dirty when driving.

This man needs to be taken to court and have all firearms rights stripped from him permanently.

Well just Jeez Louieeezzz, Bet Alice and Al were in the Peanut Gallery!

Too bad the little girl had to see that.

OTH, these things can give kids a tougher skin to face what’s in front of them.
