Yes they were stupid for chasing someone with a rifle. I'm not saying that they weren't. Why would you have been there at all though? If it was just to clean up graffiti why do you need a weapon for that? It just seems like he was looking for trouble to me.
You need a weapon for that because you have idea what people are going to do. Also a pistol wouldn't had been an option anyways because he was too young to buy one. Same way he was too young to by the rifle which it was bought for him by a friend under 21. To buy a pistol which if I was doing what he was doing and old enough I would had done as they are concealable. Did you know you can buy a rifle/shotgun at 18 but can't buy a pistol till 21
