Summary
The law presumes reckless conduct when someone knowingly points a firearm at another person, even if they think it’s unloaded, except for officers lawfully using their weapon. It also shields officers from a specific deadly‑conduct provision when they are performing official duties and reasonably believe the discharge is justified. The changes apply only to incidents occurring on or after September 1, 2025.
