There's always 2 sides to a story. The OPs link has a different perspective from Liberal Huffs story which may have conveniently left out part:
"In an email to the Capitol Times reported by the Republic, Klein denied pointing the gun at the reporter and said he sat himself down in front of it."
Sounds like a typical stupid reporter may have caused the situation.
Are reporters fair game?
I'm betting the reporter inquired about it then sat down and called "foul" just to make a scene.
Jakashh, i think he was referring to you, but using the link to not be so obvious, lol.
