Would love to see how this one plays out. I'm wondering which firearm model is easily confused with a cell phone.

Anger Counselor Accused Of Pulling Gun On Officer
Anger Counselor Accused Of Pulling Gun On Officer
A domestic violence and anger management counselor in Fairfax County is accused of pulling a gun on two men who turned out to be federal marshals.
Fifty-seven-year-old Jose L. Avila was arraigned in federal court in Alexandria on Thursday on a charge of assaulting a federal officer. Authorities say Avila pointed the gun at the marshals because he believed they were blocking his car.
Defense attorney William A. Odio says Avila pointed a cell phone at the men and didn't know they were marshals.
Odio says Avila works at a nonprofit in Falls Church and gets frequent counseling referrals from judges and lawyers.
Court records show Avila has a permit to carry a concealed weapon.

Sounds like maybe he needs to see a anger management counselor.![]()
In the beginning, the patriot is a scarce man -- brave, hated, and scorned. But when his cause succeeds, the timid join him. For then, it costs nothing to be a patriot. -- Mark Twain
