About: Point That Somewhere Else   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Gently moving aside a weapon pointed at you. Maybe the hero was caught completely off-guard, or he's being menaced by someone he can't simply strike back against, and is now backed against the wall, with something very sharp in his face. So he'll place one finger on the tip of the weapon and nonchalantly guide it out of his face. If it's really sharp and he doesn't want to risk poking himself, grasping the flat part between finger and thumb is also an acceptable method. It works equally well with a gun, perhaps better because of the lack of cutting parts.

It works equally well with a gun, perhaps better because of the lack of cutting parts. Alternately, this could be done to the hero, if he's confronting a potential ally who he doesn't trust.

Not to be confused with Artistic License Gun Safety or I Just Shot Marvin in the Face, although the people listed under those tropes should Point That Somewhere Else.
