    If you watch the video, it clearly didn’t seem like any kind of intentional intimidation. Definitely a whoopsie since brandishing is illegal in most but not his state. But we should be charitable to compensate for our own biases and I think the title is a bit misleading about the context

      Responsible gun owners sure do seem to have a lot of “whoopsies”.

      “Whoopsie, I seem to have brandised my weapon at children”

      “Whoopsie, I seem to have allowed my gun to be stolen”

      “Whoopsie, a family member seems to have comitted suicide with my poorly secured firearm”.

      “Whoopsie, I seem to have shot a child in the face over a misunderstanding”.
