Hi All:
Got a question regarding what "brandishing" really means.
When I think of what "brandishing" would be, it would involve taking the pistol out of the holster and either waving it around OR sticking it in the face of the other party. Obviously that's a blatant example.
But my question is, if one is confronted with someone that's threatening in some way and you just show him you have a gun that's still in the holster and hasn't been withdrawn, is this still considered "brandishing"
The point being, if the "other party" decides to call the cops on you and you end up in court, does your having shown him ONLY that you had a gun on you considered brandishing?
OR is this something that a judge decides on?
