Neighbor pulls gun on dad teaching daughter to ride bike

[n2doc]

A man is accused of pulling a gun on a neighbor who was teaching his 7-year-old daughter how to ride a bike in Rosemount.
Gary Drake, 61, is facing second-degree assault and terroristic threat charges after he pointed a shotgun at his neighbor and threatened to kill him on May 25, according to a criminal complaint.

The complaint says:

While a father was teaching his daughter how to ride a bike on the street outside of Drake’s Daytona Way home, Drake began making comments about the father’s tactics. The father told him, “I’ve got it.” But Drake said, “If you don’t like my advice, get off my street.”
The father said Drake didn’t own the street. Drake appeared to get angrier, and then went inside his home. As the father and daughter were making their way away from Drake’s house, he came back outside with a shotgun and threatened to kill the father.
Drake’s wife came outside and pulled the gun away and physically dragged Drake inside. Drake went outside again and told the father he was going to kill him.

1. Drake must be a registered Republican

Toss his terrorist ass in jail.

2. Dementia?

Glad he no longer has a weapon and glad he didn't turn a bike riding lesson into yet another tragedy.

3. My first thought was that he was either

drunk or suffering from Dementia.

4. Just another "responsible"

gun owner solving a minor problem with his precious gun. Yay NRA!

5. He admitted he'd been drinking all day so alcohol was probably a factor.

Drunks with guns, why would that be a problem?

6. Leave this potential murdering drunk alone and go bust some peaceful pot smokers

7. The drunk threatening the father and child is a very lucky man.

If the father had been a permit holder, he would have been well within his rights to drop that guy where he stood.

Good thing for both of them it didn't happen that way.

One less gun made the difference.
