Let's talk about "Brandishing"

[Denny347]

No, they didn't. I just looked at MyCase for one of them and he was never charged.

Hmmm, we asked about him specifically and was told he was one of the guys that they got warrants for. Damn.

I wish it were true. But with the spineless prosecutor, it will never happen.

Dang.

I wish we could give more input because the general public needs to know about a lot of the bull**** that goes on that no one hears about, and we aren't allowed to talk about.

Let's not.

LAN, "brandishing" is a Southern crime which via the osmosis of the NRA classes (based in Virginia) oozed its way into the larger gun culture. Indiana has no such offense.

You want to look at Intimidation and Pointing a Firearm.

Start with Johnson and let me know if you have questions.

Dirty Harry makes it into case law. Pretty cool.

Controlling one's emotions is the best way to stay out of jail. The second best way is to stay away from derelicts.

 

[actaeon277]

Well that's just crazy talk.

...If you go to a concealed only state and your jacket rides up over your piece, you could be considered to be brandishing.

I just got my CCW here in DC and this ^^^ definitely applies here.

There is an attorney who cited Monty Python in a brief, they are a member here.

No brandishing in Indiana.
But, if I remember right, there are 3 laws that can be used instead.

Pointing.
Intimidation.
and I can't remember the 3rd. Something about creating a dangerous situation*** I think.

What the charge is, would depend on what you were doing.
Pointing a gun at someone..
Using your gun to coerce someone..
Waving your gun around in a crowd..


Guy Relford recently discussed this (in the last 2 months I think), on his "gun guy" show.

Is that a pod cast or radio show? I wouldn’t mind tuning in

You can listen to it, or download it.
I always download, and then listen to it on the way to work.

You missed italicizing, all caps and increasing font size. I’m just not feeling it at all.

I capitalized the first word in the sentence. That's the limit of my energy.

I have a pretty simple rules set for EDC.

1) Best defense is no be there (Thank you Mr. Miyagi)
2) If you have to "be there" come prepared both mentally and practically
3) There's no reason to EVER draw a weapon unless you intend to immediately use it
