“arrested on a charge of improper exhibition of a firearm”

Hate to say it but this charge might not stick.

So the ice cream machine was broken, what was brandishing a fire arm (real or fake) supposed to do, make ‘em poop out ice cream. They didn’t have any. Geez

It’s happening everywhere too.
I blame the spiritual condition of the people.

Folks are really losing it out there.

I don’t see why not.
Intimidation.

Like the one poster said...he should have pointed it at a cop and see what may happen.

Case in VA not all that long ago where someone cut someone off and the guy that got cut off pulled up alongside the dude and SHOWED his weapon..Didn’t point it, just showed him.

Judge may have thrown it out but it sure did ruin that guys day as he got arrested for ‘intimidating’

The key is it was a fake weapon. The right lawyer will try to exploit that.

How much different than when one goes into a gas station and uses a ‘toy’ pistol or replica and gets away?

Still charged with ARMED robbery and gets real interesting if the dude gets himself shot with a REAL weapon while attempting heist/whatever with a fake one.

Intimidation in this example would be considered Brandishing, and the weapon does not have to be pointed at an individual to be considered Brandishing and Brandishing is a criminal offense in Texas.

Thanks.
I couldn’t ‘think’ of the word brandishing so I went with intimidation
‘’almost the same’’ but a tad different in this ‘conversation’
though brandish is meant to intimidate. Or something like that...

Depends what the meaning of is is.....<: <: <:

He wasn't all that fond of the statute either...

He said this hammer’ll be the death of me, O Lord,
This hammer’ll be the death of me.
What’s wrong with these people?
