... call the cops. that's intimidation right there.
Yeah. I thought if you were concealed carrying, any interaction with your gun that was visible from displaying, peaking, drawing all the way to pointing was considered a criminal threat.
indiana law, apparently they call it 'intimidation'. He opened his jacket and displayed it with the intention of modifying their behavior.
You need to go re-read the link you posted, because you either didn't understand it or you're being highly dishonest about it.
It depends on where you at, honestly. Showing off a concealed carry is just stupid anyway as the entire point is not to let people know you have a weapon.
see the link. that's to Inidiana's law on the matter.
Of course. I just clarified a general uncertainty with "check your local laws".
Except the cops are on his side....
prolly. But they still at least have to respond. but a police report citing the incident looks pretty bad.
Brandishing a firearm
My mind cannot fathom how you managed to read that law and somehow connect any of the provisions to anything that this guy did.
