brandishing is to intimidate, not in a self defense scenario
It shall be unlawful for any person to point, hold or brandish any firearm or any air or gas operated weapon or any object similar in appearance, whether capable of being fired or not, in such manner as to reasonably induce fear in the mind of another, or hold a firearm or any air or gas operated weapon in a public place in such a manner as to reasonably induce fear in the mind of another of being shot or injured. However, this section shall not apply to any person engaged in excusable or justifiable self-defense
im not gonna argue with you because im far from an expert on that shyt, maybe im wrong and the law prefers that he shoot (:mindblownj: )
Youre absolutely right, I'm glad you posted that, because that's what people ask about all the time with ccw and such.
My state is not a stand your ground state. My state is a duty to retreat state. So even though I have my ccw, my state prefers that basically I pull it out and manage the situation. However there are 4 components that supercede my states rights which allow me to shoot but even then it's never cut and dry. Imminent threat, grievous bodily harm, kidnapping, sexual assault.
Meaning if I see someone go pop the trunk then walk back toward the club, I could shoot them.
If I see a man stabbing another man, I could shoot him.
If I witness a kidnapping I could shoot.
If I witness a sexual assault or rape, I could shoot.
They want us to pull it out and say "Leave me alone!" Or "go away!" "Stop or I'll shoot!" We can't just pull it out and fire then say we were afraid for our lives nor do we have a castle doctrine, which means you can kick in my door while I'm sleep and I still cannot grab the heat off the nightstand and give you 6 doses of lead.
