Brickbat: Pointed Discussion

Never point a gun at something or someone you don't intend to shoot. Jerome M. Hauer, New York state's commissioner of the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, has apparently never heard of that rule. He recently used the laser attached to a handgun as a pointer during a presentation to foreign officials. The laser tracked across the head of at least one of the officials before resting on the map Hauer was pointing to.
