You did the completely right thing.

You used a gun the way it was meant to be used, so that's really not a bad thing. It sucks that you had to use it on your brother, but I guess that was impulsive.
Good luck handling the problems with your brother!

Do America a favour; never breed.

I don't think you should get into trouble for that.

He was a threat and you dispatched it...what is the point of guns if everytime you take advantage of them the cops have to question you and/or a Trayvon Martin case has to happen.

Anyway support your brother and hope he gets better

On second thought though it might have just been better to have exited the house and called the cops or something...

But either way what you did resulted in success, still a bit risky tho

You did the right thing. I once pulled a butcher knife out on my best friend not to long ago in self defense when he came running after me in intent to hurt me. The police were then involved, but they didn't arrest me or anything, BECAUSE I WAS RIGHT. You did the right thing, just like I did. I forgive myself, you should to.

I heard that you can go up to 5 or 10 years for pulling a gun on someone. Of course, you claim you had training, so are you part of some police organization? If so, it seems like you were justified in what you were doing. If not, then it seems like you could have just taken a knife or something. I don't know if you can go to jail for threatening someone with a knife. They're a lot easier to get than guns. Oh, and happy marijuana day, unfortunately.

you didn't go in with the intention of actually using the weapon, you just used it to convey your point well enough to subdue him without actually getting physical. You did good, i would say.

That's exactly what I was trying to accomplish.

It's a grenade launcher.

maybe you dont understand what a muzzle break is compared to a grenade launcher muzzle based ending is and what it looks like...
a sks has a add on that goes on the end of the barel (so a muzzle break) that can have a grenade mounted over top of it so it can shoot, load your round and aim and then fire...
a grenade launcher is based on the idea of a gun that has a individual and separate detachable mount that sits under the muzzle and holds and fires a grenade by it self without using the primary firing mechanism on the gun...

It's not an add on, it's part of the gun specifically designed to hold a grenade. You'd have to cut it off. It doesn't reduce the recoil whatsoever. Plus, you stick a grenade on the end of it and it launches it. I'll just call that a grenade launcher. Really though, it doesn't have anything to do with the actual topic here.

The excuse that your martial art only teaches techniques that cause grievous injuries is a very weak argument. You weren't in danger. Your brother was just throwing a temper tantrum. What you could have done is try to subdue him in a headlock or hell, even call the police. But you took it way too far when you chambered a round and threatened him with your gun.

He was breaking windows, the walls, and throwing objects while his hands were bleeding and just kept going. I never threatened him with it. I told him to leave my house until he calmed down while I held it at rest in my hands.

If I were to use my training, he'd have a broken nose, possibly a broken collar bone/wrist/arm/rib, and I'd rather not do that to my own flesh and blood, in his right mind or not.

That's some fucked up shit, man. I can't believe some Newgrounders are backing you up on this. Oh wait, yes I can. Newgrounds BBS is full of fucking edgy retard teenagers.

I guess defending your family and your property is a little too edgy for some.

That said, I hope your brother doesn't press charges. You may not have pointed the gun directly at him but he could still provide a convincing argument that you threatened his life with a gun.

Someone on cocaine and/or meth can get me charged for pulling a loaded weapon on them in my own home while they destroyed mine and my family's property and refused to leave?

I wish I could back you up on this. Drug-fueled rage is some of the most annoying shit in the world, especially if it's from a family member. But you handled this improperly, acted on impulse and used a gun to convey your point.

Duely noted.

You're certainly have the trait for entering the local police department.

I certainly hope you're trolling. If not, you're an idiot.

Dude really? You'd best be trollin.

Yeah right. They both sound fucking insane. Plus that kind of foolish behavior is fuel for the anti-gun douches.

There's nothingwrong with what you did. Iwoukd've shot him if I had been in your position.

Well, as others said in this thread, no you weren't wrong. It calmed him up, but I hope he doesn't press charges.

So...people who don't put their finger on the trigger, have the safety on, and do not point it directly at people, should have guns?

You should have made him kneel and promise he will ran away and never come back. He was not frightened enough, he might avenge one day. When you are at a disadvantage.

I guess you could say you...
...jumped the gun.
YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

No, what you did was right.

tox shut the fuck up you stupid fucking cunt

you were justified in pulling a gun, you were being threatened

It wasn't right. It's your brother dude. You should of called the cops or let your parents know. I hope he presses charges and gets your gun license (if any) removed.

Reading the OP is a pretty new and exciting fad. You should try it. His mom was THERE. He was breaking shit and going fucking crazy.

Let his parents know? They were right there when this happened!

With that being said, the only concerns I have about all this is if your brother will press charges or not. But as long as you tell the truth to the officers if they come by to your house about what had happened, then I think you will be justified for your actions.

What if you actually did use the gun?

Just if your brain had a slightly different chemistry for a split second, bam your brother is dead.

How would you feel?

If you had to run upstairs to get your gun, I imagine the kitchen was closer. Why didn't you just grab a knife and held that up against his throat to get him out of the house?

Well if you are telling the truth, what you did was right. Well, for the most part. You didn't shoot him or fire off a warning round or anything, you just scared him straight. That's perfectly fine.

I honestly have no qualms with what you did, assuming you're not shitting us to look better.

He would still have been right. And believe it or not, people wigging on dope who are escalating violence generally keep escalating it; either until they hurt someone, or someone else pulls a gun on them.

We can bitch all day about "should this" and "should that" but at the end of the day, most murders occur between people who know each other. Your own brother is more likely to kill you than a stranger.

There's no "should" in that. Lots of people who "should" be alive aren't. Noone was hurt. Fuck your "should"

Yes it is wrong.

WHOA! Comrade is so cool! I'm gonna go buy a gun and shoot stuff!

Did you even bother to read the original post? He pointed the gun away from him, and chambered a round with the safety on. And the older brother was on a drug fueled rage I am assuming. The older brothers hands were bleeding and he was destroying their property. OP was defending his property and his mother.

Guns are made for defense. When somebody is on drugs in your house busting your family's shit up, you're well within your rights to threaten them with a weapon. Him being your brother doesn't even matter, because at that particular moment he was a threat to himself and people around him and had to be treated as such.
