Doesn't it depend whether you are in a "peaceful protest" or not?
Assuming one has a valid LTCH, is this even a thing in Indiana? Can someone quote both the law(s) governing brandishing in Indiana and the practical aspects of it? Since I'm allowed to open carry, is there any circumstance under which I could be charged with brandishing here?
Thanks
However, if you draw your weapon, there needs to be evidence that you reasonably believed it was necessary to protect your or someone else's life.
How do they interpret the display of the handgun as placing him in fear for asking to move the car? Seems much more like a warning to not initiate a physical confrontation.In this case, evidence that Johnson displayed a firearm combined with telling Kreczmer “don't even think it,” which was preceded by two obscene remarks, was sufficient for a trier of fact to conclude that Johnson communicated a threat within the meaning of the intimidation statute, namely: Johnson expressed by his words and actions an intention to unlawfully injure Kreczmer. The evidence was also sufficient to show that Johnson threatened Kreczmer with the intent to place him in fear of retaliation for a prior lawful act, namely: asking Johnson to move the car.
The weapon need NOT be drawn. Please read Johnson.
In his possession, officers found a loaded 9 mm *automatic handgun along with two **clips and a holster. He also possessed a valid handgun ***permit.

I think that covers it for us common folk.You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to maxwelhse again.

POINTING is illegal in Indiana, but "brandishing" is not.

Let's stop looking for excusing to wave guns around. I know that's what people do, wave guns around, I see it every week if not every day.
