That's "brandishing" in this state, a gross misdemeanor, Class A to put a fine point on it.

Brandishing or.... if it's justified, preparing to defend oneself. Otherwise, anyone who used a gun in SD would be charged with brandishing even if the situation warranted the use of the gun...
"Well, we can't get him for murder, it was obviously self defense, but he sure as heck did brandish that weapon. Brandished 2 rounds COM I'd say."
I'm sure this dirt bag went looking for the closest cop to accuse the OP of brandishing. It is beyond my comprehension how anyone could not consider this guy a threat. I'm not belittling anyone. You can see things how you want. When this happens to (any of) you let us know how it turns out, if and when you get out of the hospital. The simple fact of the idling, apparently hidden car is 90% enough to convince me. The actions of the guy go beyond 100% convincing in my book. The reasons why have been discussed ad nauseam and I'll not repeat them again.
