Our reading

An editorial interpretation.

The speaker meets a threat with brash defiance, sounding more indignant than scared. There's a comic edge in the 'what, you're pulling a gun?' reaction, as though the weapon is a rude surprise rather than a danger. Bravado, whether real or put on, drives the line.
