Assault can be verbal.
You can
threaten to commit a violent act by
verbalizing intent.
Meeting someone in a public parking to conduct a sale of goods - one party has a feeling that motivates them to mention there is a passenger in the back seat of the vehicle they arrived has a gun - the reasonable assumption is that person feels threatened.
If that person turns out to be a retired police officer - the assumption is that their feeling is more justified.
If you are not comfortable or feel threatened doing a business transaction with another party in s public setting - walk away.
Dont mention a passenger in your vehicle has a gun.
