solution? i went to his house and knocked two of his teeth out and told him if he ever pulled that shit again that the next time anyone saw him would be in a casket.
did it happen again?
...what do you think?

where was a handgun involved in any of this? [it seems like you solved this problem farely well without having to result to gun violence]
