MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A father has pleaded guilty to aiming an assault rifle at some youngsters in St. Louis Park he thought had stolen Halloween candy from one of his children.
Orrin Hager pleaded guilty Monday to one felony count of second-degree assault.
The Hennepin County Attorney's office says Hager pulled up to a group of children last November. The children said Hager began yelling at them and then produced an AK-47 assault rifle.
Investigators say Hager told them he pulled out the gun because he thought the boys weren't taking him seriously. No one was hurt.
WCCO-TV (http://cbsloc.al/14PxTpE) reports Hager will be sentenced Feb. 26.

Add commentWell, I hope
he is forbidden to own firearms now and forever and even to have them in his home under someone else's name.
The only way to solve
The only way to solve this problem is to make sure every little kid on Halloween is carrying their own gun. Then they wouldn't have to worry about guys like Hager pulling guns on them.

The only way to stop a BAD Halloweener with a gun is with a GOOD Halloweener with a gun!
