Sorry that doesn't hold up. If I have two thuggish strangers banging on my door, my weapon will certainly be pointed at them.
Do I "intend" to shoot? Not if I can possibly avoid it.
I carry a weapon daily and put it in a holster that points at the ground. Do I intend to shoot the ground? Of course not.
If you were to say 'Never point a firearm (I'm not even sure what you mean by a "gun") at anything you are unwilling to shoot,' then I'm with you.
I was referring to your pointing your gun at friends and relatives
