Yeah but that is a wildly different situation. They were out target shooting. There was no lawful reason to point a gun at your buddy while target shooting. Stanley had a lawful reason to point a gun at someone in my opinion. If you don't think that a truck bashing into your stuff and revving towards your wife is a threat then I do not know what is.
