Suppose 2 thugs walk up on me at QT. They look like they have bad intentions to me. One tries to flank me. I draw my pistol and they run off. One of them call in my plate and says I was menacing them with a pistol. Under current law I can be charged with a crime. This bill addresses that.
After some reflection, I don't think this bill will make much difference.

In the above scenario, there's no proof whether you were brandishing without reason or displaying your firearm in self-defense. It's still your word against two people, even if they are thugs.

I don't see how it helps anything, since you're already protected if a threat can be established. And that must be determined with or without the bill. :anyone:

Instead of the bill, we might should look at our instructors a little closer. If we have instructors telling students that a shot must be fired if you draw your weapon to prevent brandishing charges, maybe we should take away intructors license.
