What if what if what if. If you have time to worry about what if you must not have many issues in your life
I have plenty going on, between volunteer work, my paying job, family and other interests.
But I am sure the possible ramifications would have crossed your mind too as you listened to someone tell someone else that you could follow through on your threat because you carried. And I believe that most people would have mentioned those possible ramifications to the person when explaining that they can not do that.
Life is filled with what it's...what if I enter this building with the improper 30.06 sign and someone realizes that I have a gun...this has been asked on this site many times. Asking and considering these what ifs is part of what keeps us safe and out of trouble.
I could be wrong but I am pretty sure it is against the law to threaten use of a gun, even as a joke, by stating that you that you have one and can follow through... I think that is serious enough to warrant a what if thought. But then that may be a sign I have too much time on my hands ( which would make every one who knows me roll on the floor laughing)
). I figured rushing out there would not improve the situation so I fumed and stayed put until the customer had left and she came back into the back room... I said we need to talk and I took her to the back and explained how many ways it wrong to do that 
she just did not get it and tried to argue with me! I expresses that it did not matter if she agreed, she was never to do it again. Thankfully the customer did not take it as threat and nothing further came if it.
