At a meeting with constituents on Friday, U.S. Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) pulled out a loaded gun and placed it on a table for several minutes. He argued after the fact that the firearm’s presence had made the attendees safer.

But that’s not what people who went to the event had to say about Norman’s bewildering action.

“Rep. Norman’s behavior today was a far cry from what responsible gun ownership looks like,” said Lori Freeman, a volunteer with Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, who attended the event and spoke with Norman, according to the Washington Post.

Another attendee, Lori Carter, said, “I felt it was highly inappropriate for an elected official, honestly, and it almost felt like an intimidation tactic.”

There is a statute that makes it illegal to “present or point at another person a loaded or unloaded firearm,” and the South Carolina Democratic Party is calling for an investigation.

Asked later about the incident, Norman told the Post and Courier newspaper: “I’m not going to be a Gabby Giffords. I don’t mind dying, but whoever shoots me better shoot well, or I’m shooting back.”
