EDIT: Here's the definition of the law in Florida:
Quote:
The crime of Aggravated Assault is defined as:- An intentional and unlawful threat - by word or act - to commit violence against another person;
- With the apparent ability to carry through with the threat at the time it was made;
- And the threat created a genuine fear in the intended victim that the violence was imminent; and
- The accused made the threat:
- With a Deadly Weapon, or
- In the commission of a Felony.

So basically, if he really did approach the car and threaten them by lifting up the shirt and exposing his gun, he's got problems.
