[QUOTE="zulater, post: 1795778, member: 1686"] I tried to search and nothing really fit the situation I have in mind and if I missed it feel free to merge/delete as I haven't been as active recently as I used to be here. So open carry is in effect Nov 1. Classically brandishing would be shaking or waving but seems to be synonymous with threatening. So say you are out in public and get into a disagreement/discussion. At what point could something that would be non threatening without a gun (slight turn, shifting of your body weight) be construed as brandishing or threatening? Certainly if you put your hand on the grip, certainly not if you walk away. But where could the line be drawn? This spurred by a FB discussion. If you choose to OC you'll have to remember you are openly representing the gun community and pay extra attention to your conduct (that you should already be doing if you CC). Obviously any conclusion we come to will be meaningless until it goes through the courts but it's definitely something to keep in the front of your brain. [/QUOTE]
