MN Idiot Threatens To Shoot Man Teaching Daughter To Ride Bike
Read Time:1 Minute, 45 Second
Now you have to be careful teaching your kids to ride bikes. When you live in America you need to be aware of the fact that everyone is allowed to own and carry a gun, and in some cases these idiots think they are entitled to use it at every opportunity. Here’s the story of such an idiot.
From Raw Story:
A Minnesota man was arrested last week after pulling a shotgun on a neighbor who was teaching his 7-year-old daughter to ride a bike.
According to the arrest complaint, 61-year-old Gary Drake began making comments about the father’s tactics May 25 as he taught the girl to ride on the cul-de-sac they shared.
The father told his neighbor, “I’ve got it,” which apparently angered the older man.
“If you don’t like my advice, get off my street,” Drake told the man, who reminded his neighbor he didn’t own the street.
This apparently angered Drake even more, and police said he went inside to retrieve a Remington 870 shotgun.
He came back with the weapon and threatened to kill the father, but Drake’s wife came outside, pulled the gun away from him, and physically dragged her husband back inside.
But police said Drake came back outside once again and told the father he would kill him.
Officers were called to Drake’s home, and his wife said he had gone inside to watch television.
Drake admitted to police that he had a confrontation with the father, saying he didn’t like how the man treated the girl during the bike-riding lesson.
He admitted to drinking during the day but denied the alcohol had influenced his behavior.
“Maybe next time I should have shot him,” Drake said, according to the arrest complaint.
Drake’s wife turned over his shotgun and a rifle, and he was charged with second-degree assault and terroristic threatening.

Be thankful for a sane wife. Let’s hope he doesn’t get his guns back.
There seems to be something about owning a gun that brings out the crazy in some people. I don’t if or how that could be detected in advance but it might make some difference in the world if it could be done.
I don’t think there’s a way James. At the Sheriff’s Office where I worked every applicant went through a rigorous hiring process, including taking the Minnesota Multi-Phase Psychological Instrument (MMPI) and that is one thorough test that takes several hours to complete. Even if you get a “fair” risk classification, which is the only one you can have a get hired, people still fell through the cracks.
Sure. Let’s go ahead and let everyone have a gun, even drunks and fools.
