Summary:
Claimant took a toy gun to his place of employment and threatened a co-employee. Umpire concluded that claimant's conduct was irresponsible to say the least. To utter a threat accompanied by the exhibition of a weapon that leads the person threatened to believe that the person making the threat has the means to carry out the threat is clearly misconduct detrimental to the employer's interests.
