A Florida principal faces charges after he allegedly pulled a gun on a teacher at school.

The alleged incident occurred Saturday at Applied Technology School in Miami, where Principal Ronald Major and some teachers were preparing for the first day of classes.

A teacher told police that he was standing in the main lobby when Major pointed a gun at him and said, This is what I do to people who give me a hard time.

The teacher put his hands in the air and backed up several steps as Major put the gun back in his waistband, a police report said. The teacher said that he was in fear for his life.

Police said Major was carrying a loaded .38-caliber revolver.

Major, who has a permit to carry a concealed weapon, is charged with possessing a firearm on schools grounds and aggravated assault with a firearm.

He told Local 10 News that he was carrying a gun for his personal safety.

For the safety of myself coming early in the morning and late afternoon. That's why I had the gun, Major said.
