Sources: Sean Hannity once pulled a gun on Juan Williams
CNN ^ | 03/16/2017 | by Dylan Byers

Posted on 03/16/2017 3:00:10 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

The Wall Street Journal columnist who called Hannity the "dumbest anchor" on Fox News is a "jackass," according to Hannity. The forensic psychologist who suggested a blood vessel had popped inside Hannity's brain is a "jackass." Even the conservative MSNBC host who sometimes criticizes President Donald Trump is a "jackass."

If you criticize Hannity, or the Trump administration, there is a fair chance he will call you a "jackass" on Twitter. The chances of being called a "jackass" by Hannity are significantly higher late at night. Of the 21 people Hannity called a "jackass" in the last year, nearly half were told off between 9 p.m and 2 a.m. Hannity, Trump's biggest backer on television, has said this is entertainment for him: "I am a counterpuncher," he told one Twitter user who asked why he was so antagonistic. "I do not start fights but I finish them. This is pure entertainment for me. If people take cheap shots I hit back."

Still, Hannity's version of entertainment can go too far. Last year, after ending one of his many spirited on-air arguments with liberal contributor Juan Williams, Hannity pulled out a gun and pointed it directly at Williams, according to three sources with knowledge of the incident. He even turned on the laser sight, causing a red dot to bob around on Williams' body. (Hannity was just showing off, the sources said, but the unforeseen off-camera antic clearly disturbed Williams and others on set.)

For the record: Hannity's colleagues brought the Williams incident to the attention of Fox News executives, though it's not clear whether anything came of it. The sources said it went to Bill Shine, the network's co-president and longtime Fox News executive, who is Hannity's longtime friend and a former producer.

Yes, of course, but because of his work ethic, that is why he makes that salary.

Thanks! Sean has often spoken of his knowledge of firearms and his owning weapons. Your post of Sean’s remarks makes perfect sense.

Better than this - if this is even true, William Buckley threatening to punch Gore Vidal’s lights out.

I watched that live. I think I remember he threatened to slap the faggots face.

“He is getting better.”

But not so for Juan. What a damned borg! He hasn’t had an original thought in all the years he’s been on FNC.

So, according to CNN,

pulling a gun = showing an unloaded weapon

CNN is America’s premier Fake News Network

Probably a pea shooter, or a water pistol.

Bill Thornbury in 1970s Phantasm:

“Now, remember: you don’t aim a gun at a man unless you intend to shoot him. And, you don’t shoot a man unless you intend to kill him. No warning shots. Hey, you listening to me? No warning shots. Warning shots are bull####. You shoot to kill, or you don’t shoot at all.”

I'm shocked!
I can't believe they didn't say that he had pulled an assault rifle on Juan!

I grew up with guns of all kinds from pistols to rifles and shotguns. NEVER EVER did I, or was I allowed to point a gun of any kind, loaded or not, at anyone. Having done so would have earned a significant ass whipping from my dad.

A first rule in handling firearms is to “Treat EVERY gun as if it were loaded”.

Hannity should know that simple rule if he has a CCW permit.
Makes no difference if he were just playing or not, doing so is definitely a NO NO!!!!
