If you don’t have a peephole, invest in a chain lock. Or a Ring. You don’t have the right to point a gun at someone just because they’re outside your door.
You don’t point a gun at a six year old. Full stop. He didn’t open the door with his gun drawn and stop when he saw who it was, he waved it in his face to try to scare him. Inexcusable.
I’m not trying to excuse his behavior, just give a reason for it. People do irrational things when they’re in fear for their life, and we don’t know what this guy was going through. For example, he could owe money to someone and see this as a way to scare his collectors into leaving him alone. Just talking to them wouldn’t work, so he might feel more drastic measures are in order.
Think ‘cause and effect’ instead of ‘I’m trying to get out of this.’

I totally agree, but we don’t know what this guy was going through or who he may have angered.

Of course he had a reason, just not a good one, hence him being charged.
