I would recommend taking a carry class with a good instructor in MN. I also am from Minnesota and I can recommend the one I took my class with. The instructor will go over the legalities of it all.

I am not a lawyer, or an instructor, but I have taken a MN class, and this is how I understand it.

Simply put, "brandishing" a gun technically is the use of deadly force. If you would not be justified shooting in the situation, then you more than likely are not justified "brandishing", and you could be charged in some way.

There is a lot of very good information on carryforum.com. the instructor I took the class with owns the forum, there are MANY instructors that frequent, and one of the people who helped to write the MN carry law also posts occasionally. That would be a good way to find a class in your area, as well as ask questions specific to MN.
