That explanation makes no sense. What exactly are you "showing off" by pulling a gun on somebody and turning on the laser sight. At the very least you're "showing off" the fact that you have the ability to kill them. Which is, you know, a pretty disturbing thing to do. In fact it disturbed people on the set so much that they reported it to the company's brass, but the man who the incident apparently went to was Bill Shine, who is a longtime friend of Hannity. So what does Fox News have to say about the incident?

"Sean Hannity has been trained in firearm safety since he was 11 years old and has a license to carry a gun in five states, including New York," Fox News said in a statement to CNNMoney.

Oh well, as long as you guys say no one was in danger, I guess we should believe you. After all, nobody has a better record on gun violence issues than Fox News.

Now, both Hannity and Williams deny that the incident was serious, with Hannity saying he was showing off the gun, which he says wasn't loaded, for "educational purposes." Meanwhile, Williams says that story is being sensationalized and he never felt like he was in danger. Is that possible? Sure. But other sources say Williams was disturbed by the incident, and as Hannity is the network's golden goose, it would make sense not to make a big deal about the incident if you want to keep your job. It's not like we haven't seen Fox News employees forced to follow that path before.
