I strongly recommend against deploying a weapon as an empty threat. Don't pull a gun unless you expect to have both the intent and the willingness to kill. Otherwise you just gave them a weapon and an excuse.
I never said the gun should be loaded ...
In all seriousness, though, you're right. Pulling a gun would be a terrible idea, no matter how much the idea amuses me.
A not-loaded gun is still a weapon, it's just one that isn't useful to somebody lacking in upper-body strength. And they might have loaded guns, and then you're in a western standoff (cue whistling, tumbleweed) and you've brought an awkward metal club to a gunfight. Lets not do that either.
Not arguing with you there. Funny and safe are entirely different things.
