I got a civillian who's supposed to stay with the gun away, then pull it out and aim it in the persons face, civillian also, and then later put it away.  I do it but the civillian with the gun always lays down.  I tried the set unit pos up and man it didn't give me the effect i was looking for.  I guess I'll keep testing.   setunitpos up makes them point the gun the whole time.

Do you use the handgun actions?

unitname action ["handgun off"]

and

unitname action ["handgun on"]

EDIT:  Actually I don't think "handgun off" will work if the pistol is the only weapon.
You could try ....unitname action ["weaponinhand"] and ....unitname action ["weapononback"] instead

Erm,
try the setbehaviour command. Use the setunitpos "UP" also but when you want the gun holstered, put

sillycivvi setbehaviour "CARELESS"

then when you want him to aim....

sillycivvi setbehaviour "AWARE"

sillycivvi dotarget santa

That should give you the effect you want, if I understand you right.
