Is it really just a misdemeanour though?
I don't no much about this but firing a pellet gun at an event with members of the public is not only stupid but dangerous. And considering the current climate with regard to weapons it makes all the more stupid.
The fact it hit someone just compounds the issue.
And what in your eyes is 'really out of line'?
It depends on what your assessment of reasonable and unreasonable is I guess.
Personally carrying a weapon, whether and air gun or a knife in a public place and then using it and then actually harming someone with it is pretty serious and if the Police were involved i'm sure he would be in more trouble than some of you realise.
The BRCA have by all accounts done the right thing here IMHO.
