Heres the situation:
Bob is under the misconception that John has wronged him. Bob then goes to John and attempts to fight him. Bob makes numberous verbal threats saying that he is going to beat up John. Bob swings at Joe but is stopped by somone in the middle. Bob is asked to leave numerous times by people living in the residence including John The arguing continues and when there isnt somone between the two of them Bob takes another swing at John but this time John reveals what appears to be a real gun but infact is not. John points the gun at Bob and declares that if Bob harms him then John will shoot him with the gun and kill him. John knows the gun is not real and is infact a BB gun but Bob does not. The gun is not fired though it could have been. The gun is not illegal and John owns it lawfully.
My question is: Can John legally use a fake (or even real) gun to threaten somone who he feels will cause him harm, though they have not yet harmed him but have attempted?
