Quote:
Intimidations is a strange one, since a lot of criminals
are generally not intimidated by anything but force.
Often the mere possibility of presence of a gun undermines criminal behavior.
The gun doesn't actually have to be there.

UT, that completely misses what is generally meant by "gun intimidation".
It has nothing to do with intimidating criminals.
It is used within discussions of spousal- and/or child-abuse where, usually a man,
is abusing or intimidating his wife/S.O./children/neighbor, and a gun is involved.
Within such households, such intimidation becomes very intense,and
sometimes progresses to murder, suicide, injury, or concealed physical abuse.
