Daniel N. Montgomery, an active-duty U.S. Marine in the 1990s, fired several rounds from his handgun into a car driving on his street to protect himself, his daughter, and his neighbors. That's his side of the story. He spoke to The Press this week after a 1st District Court jury in Kootenai County found him guilty of a felony count of unlawful discharge of a gun into an occupied vehicle. He is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 29 by Judge Cynthia Meyer. He was acquitted on a charge of felony aggravated assault from the September 2014 incident, and another similar charge was dismissed because a witness was uncooperative/David Cole, Coeur d'Alene Press.

Question: Um, isn't there a better way to handle a problem like this than brandishing a gun and then shooting a vehicle?
