What you are describing is "brandishing a firearm". You cannot legally try to intimidate another by showing a firearm. When I was in law enforcement, I would have arrested you for "Aggravated Assault", which was a felony in Florida. That means that a reasonable person would feel threatened by you because you had a weapon in your possession, and were brandishing it.
Not a good way to settle your arguments, my friend. Find another way to do it, or don't get into arguments to begin with. Nothing is resolved by gun threats.

It would be an aggravating factor. If I say I will kick you butt and I have the capability to do that this is Assault (Illinois). If I show a firearm and and say the same thing and you belive that I will kick your but this is an aggravating factor. This is now a felony. Felonies, as I am sure you know, come with "do you in the ***" penitentiary time, no just jail.

The firing pin has to hit the primer to spark off the round. The hammer surprising the firing pin fires the gun ninety 9.9& of the time. the safe practices of maximum guns will block the hammer or disconnect the sear so the set off received't launch the hammer. . Inertia can stress the firing pin and spark off the round if it impacts with sufficient stress and there is a chambered round.. Throwing a gun is amazingly risky. some guns are hammerless, like the very affordable Raven semi-automatic, which has a very mild weight plastic firing pin which could slip free no matter if that's charged. The previous Ruger Liberty Colt S/A on 0.5 cost is extra secure, yet there continues to be a large gamble a superior rap may reason the hammer to hit the firing pin. No gun, at the same time as loaded and charged, is 100% secure. i exploit the be conscious "charged" in decision to the be conscious "c*o*c*ok*e*d*- which i believe is censored. in case you fired your very last round and the thug is coming to pummel you, it may no longer be so risky to htrow the gun at them. a level of damage is emminent. i could carry on to it to apply as a bludgeon. Cop shows are really dramatic and each and each scene is for thrill result.

That's screwed up! Lol, so what's your definition of an argument? In Texas it is legal for me to defend myself against people if I am being assaulted with what could result in the losing of my life. Wisdom is not to get in arguments or debates with people you don't know. In Texas you can lose your hand gun permit for showing your weapon or even a bullet. However, if someone pulled their gun and pointed it toward me there is a 99% chance they would be dead before they got their finger on the trigger...

brandishing a firearm and yes you can be prosecuted for that. But there are lots of other laws in different states. Like in Texas they are allowed to carry guns and see them in public. In some states its just carrying them concealed and if you take them out of concealment, it is a crime. Just really matters what. But if you do have a criminal record its about 3 charges that can be prosecuted.

You should never display a gun, until the situation elscalates to the point where you feel that there is a threat to your life. You could wind up in trouble as the aggressor.

I'm pretty sure that's "brandishing a firearm"....and yes, many jurisdictions have a law against that as well. It doesn't have to be pointed at anyone to fit this charge.
Edit: CJ below......brandishing a firearm in his avatar (ex-cops can do that).

That would be Brandishing a Weapon, not to mention the other crime that you described. Possession of a Weapon by a convicted Felon.

Yes, if there is life threat for you, you may show pistol to the aggressor to prevent him attacking you, in your self defence.
