agreed it's weird, and the law varies from state to state. Some states have an open carry law with or without permit, some states have a concealed carry law with or without permit. Here in Mass, I am licensed for concealed carry, that is the only way I'm able to carry a pistol, it cannot be in plain view. Kentucky you are allowed to openly carry but not concealed (if memory serves correctly). To me, what would disturb the average person more. Someone that is licensed to carry and has a pistol under his jacket in the local mall. OR someone that is licensed and has a pistol in a "cowboy style" holster in the local mall? Yes, brandishing is along the lines of "showing in a threateningly manor". Leaves an awful lot to interpretation....
If "threatening manner" is the criterion, then I'd say that anyone openly carrying a gun is showing it in a threatening manner. Isn't that the whole point of openly carrying? _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
