Is he just intimidating that guy he flashed the gun at?
No, he just brought this gun from Amazon, told everyone to come by and check it out
why does he flash his gun at random passerbys
I took it to be:
>hood mentality, stepping to every motherfucker that so much as looks at you to show them how hard you is
>coupled with the fact that it is a drug stash house, probably not a bad idea to ward off potential stick-up crews
>and maybe a little bit to show that you're working to the guys coming in for the pickup, earning your keep and all that

The joke is a bit dated now because of redevelopment but the Poe House was quite literally in the ghettos of Baltimore. Poe house is seen on the right next to the lamp post in the google street view image.
So the situation is some white fellow encounters a vibrant urban youth in the ghettos of Baltimore and because of economic difference in american english the surname Poe is misinterpreted as poor.
Had a pedophile english teacher in high school who talked about how the Poe House was in the ghetto and how he couldn't tell if it was open. Had to knock and heard all sort of locks being done on the inside of the door.
