Lohman, I'm not sure of your point, but when you mention brandishment in that post, does pointing an unidentifiable thing in a pocket count as brandishment ?
If one needs to make a threat of armed force, don't pantomime that there is a gun in your pocket.
) Brandishment (justifiable): making it clear you were in possession of a firearm
If you are going to show a gun as a warning, then show the gun. Don't just show him a bulge.
A few weeks ago we watched a marx brothers movie. Gangsters in suits with guns in their pockets kept threatening harpo, and you should have seen him laugh. I'm thinking that if he had actually seen a gun, he might not have laughed so loud.
