I read a story of a guy who either had a kid do it to him or saw a kid looking at something through his scope. He confronted the kid and asked if he knew how bad it was to do that and the reason to not do it. Kid said he simply didn't have any bino's. Guy gave the kid his $300 pair off his neck!
Get behind cover and yell. You could technically report him for brandishing/threatening if you are able to get a license number and description to police. Aiming back isn't a great idea. It could quickly lead to an escalation. These people suck. I don't know how anyone who's gone through hunter ed can still demonstrate this behavior.

I did not put him in my scope. He made every excuse in the book. "The sun was in my eyes, I didn't know you were there. I tried to get a license plate. They backed out so I couldn't see it.
So what did you do??

RCW 9.41.230Aiming or discharging firearms, dangerous weapons. (1) For conduct not amounting to a violation of chapter 9A.36 RCW, any person who: (a) Aims any firearm, whether loaded or not, at or towards any human being; (b) Willfully discharges any firearm, air gun, or other weapon, or throws any deadly missile in a public place, or in any place where any person might be endangered thereby. A public place shall not include any location at which firearms are authorized to be lawfully discharged; or (c) Except as provided in RCW 9.41.185, sets a so-called trap, spring pistol, rifle, or other dangerous weapon,although no injury results, is guilty of a gross misdemeanor punishable under chapter 9A.20 RCW. (2) If an injury results from a violation of subsection (1) of this section, the person violating subsection (1) of this section shall be subject to the applicable provisions of chapters 9A.32 and 9A.36 RCW.If you get scoped and can get a license plate number, or can otherwise positively identify the perpetrator, I strongly recommend a call to the county sheriff.
Well 100 yards is pretty close for that kind of encounter. I had a buddy get scoped at 600 yards. The message was understood when he grabbed his rifle sat behind a stump and scoped him back.I fall some where closer to the grey line than those on here. If you point a gun at me I'm gona assume your going to shoot me. Getting a license plate and reporting is better at 100 yards but I wouldn't take getting scoped lightly.
Ya be nice! That way the SOB can continue to scope people throughout his day and hunting career. When a person points a gun at you, that is not a time to be nice! Nice has gotten many people killed and or wounded over the years.

I wasn't nice about it and he was rattled enough at how pussed I was to put his gun down and hands up.
