Like it or not, the woman was committing the crime of brandishing : Her husband was carrying correctly, as was that entire neighborhood BurnLootMurder marched through ( in Indiana?) ; all of them had their weapons pointed straight up OR pointing to the ground . She was caught on camera pointing her weapon at the crowd, and even in a state with open carry/constitutional carry, that IS brandishing.
Its funny because the other option was to pull out the gun and start blasting.
Its sometimes like you need the bad party to understand the consequences of their actions before you dole out the punishment.
What would happen if they were out playing meek and slightly antagonizing until they started getting pushed around, then just started blasting; is that what they would have preferred happen? (I know the answer is yes because they are just waiting for something to pop-off).
"You will have to prove the elements of self-defense to be exonerated of brandishing a weapon or firearm in violation of PC 417, which includes:
You reasonably believed you or another person were in imminent danger of physical harm
And you fought the person who threatened you with only enough force to subdue that person or otherwise defend yourself."
They were trespassing and threatening them, she pointed her gun and said GTFO, they GTFO, and she didn't shoot anyone. I'm not a lawyer, but I assume she's got a hell a case.
Unfortunately, probably not. Look, I'm not happy about her situation, but like it or not, if you try to claim you pulled a gun on someone and pointed it at them because you were in fear for your life/fear of imminent danger, and then DON'T pull the trigger (or worse yet, give a warning shot, or ';shoot to wound') : Well, in that case your inaction disproves your claim .I don't like it, but that's what will be said.
This is why lawyers argue. Because one can be wrong.
If I'm legitimately in fear for my life, and therefore pull my gun, but then the other guy surrenders or stops threatening me so I don't shoot him, THAT'S HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK. Nobody got hurt, and my life being in danger passed.
Tell me what state REQUIRES YOU TO SHOOT SOMEONE if you pull a gun even if the sight of the gun makes the criminal stop threatening you.
So wrong. Funny Libs coming in trying to sound smart. By your logic, anytime you pull your weapon out but don't shoot because maybe it immediately de-escalated the situation.. You will be arrested.
Holding a firearm improperly is NOT illegal. Otherwise you would have to go through extensive training to "participate" in the 2nd amendment. And that is not how it works.

You're wrong.
How the fuck do you brandish weapons against trespassers that are calling for your death?
Online experts like to howl about people not operating in accordance with how they imagine that they would have in the circumstances.
Its easy to forget that adrenaline is a hell of a drug when its your house and home that are being assaulted by a mob.
