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?To you it might be threatening, but a reasonable adult wouldn't be threatened at all. Considering every cop in the states carries openly it is pretty common,
I thought we were talking about citizens, not cops.
besides the fact that those aforementioned rational adults would understand the difference between a gun in a holster and gun in your face....
I would find it very threatening, and I would vote accordingly on a jury. The entire point of carrying a gun openly, is to show that you're armed. _______________________________________________ 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.
