As a CCW holder, there is no problem with “brandishing” your weapon if you have just cause to draw it and potentially shoot someone......

That is good to know and should probably be shouted from the housetops so that a whole lot of people here and elsewhere who are carrying can get the message as they clearly did not pay attention in their CCW classes.

What's interesting is that the debate on this thread has reduced itself to thrown popcorn as a provocative act of criminality demanding the response of deadly force -- however witnesses insist that it was the shooter that threw the first kernel of popcorn -- not the victim:

"He’s being charged with second degree murder. Curtis maintains that he was attacked, but in court, an attorney called Curtis’ claims “weak” due to the fact that other people in the movie theater saw him throw popcorn first".

"The dispute quickly escalated. A bag of popcorn was angrily flung. It isn't clear who threw the first kernel. Witnesses insisted it was Mr. Reeves, who, in turn, blamed Mr. Oulson."
