Did Popular Fox News Host Sean Hannity Point a Gun at Frequent On-Air Adversary Juan Williams?

Well, this is a little weird.

According to a piece over at CNN Money that has since been reported on by a variety of other news outlets, including The Hill, popular Fox News host and arch conservative Sean Hannity once pointed a gun at Juan Williams, a Fox political analyst and one of the network���s few resident liberal talking heads.

So���Hannity really pointed a gun at Juan Williams?

According to CNN���s sources, Sean Hannity aimed the firearm at Williams and engaged the weapon���s laser sight, which caused a visible red dot to reflect against William���s person.

The report, however, prompted charges by both Williams and Hannity that CNN took great liberties in its reporting of how things went down.

Williams, the supposed ���victim,��� was himself quick to take issue with what CNN had to say, declaring, ���This incident is being sensationalized.���

���Everything was under total control throughout and I never felt like I was put in harm���s way. It was clear that Sean put my safety and security above all else and we continue to be great friends.���

OK, but something clearly happened, though; after all, what is this ���everything��� to which Williams is referring in his statement?

Here���s what Hannity says happened:

���While discussing the issue of firearms, I showed my good friend Juan Williams my unloaded firearm in a professional and safe manner for educational purposes only.

���Every precautionary procedure that I have been trained in since the age of 11 was followed. I���ve had a conceal carry permit in five states for all of my adult life. Any other interpretation of this is outright false reporting.���

Interestingly, it wasn���t until late Thursday, through Twitter, that Hannity made any sort of denial regarding the specific allegation that he had pointed his piece directly at Williams.

���Never pointed at anybody. Let's be clear. Unloaded. Never pointed. I have been a gun safety advocate for years.���

Hmmm...
