is known as brandishing, and is still illegal. So, the author is a liar.
Correct. She took care to use the phrase twice just to get the image set. And yes, that is illegal and she is a liar.
It's odd - I thought this sort of "consciousness-raising" was supposed to be a good thing. The Left uses it to excuse outright lying when it comes to racist and sexist incidents. Not, apparently, when it comes to the horror of viewing a firearm in public that isn't attached to a police officer. That's a different sort of dread.
One does need to be very careful to stay inside the law of the state when exercising this sort of political demonstration. There will be provocations in an attempt to force the firearm holder to break the law or act in a threatening manner. But liberal use of their personal feelings to control other people's lives is an old, widespread, and dishonorable tactic.

Correct on both counts.
“is known as brandishing, and is still illegal. So, the author is a liar.”
well, when you saw the author has three names, there is always a better than average chance they are a Marxist, and then of course liar goes without saying.

She’s more of a liar than even that. I read through the comments and got the full story about that.
The guy in question was just walking through the park with his firearm holstered. The part about him pointing at his gun, saying “you can’t do anything about it”, and waving it around are all fabrications. They apparently come from the distraught mother who called the cops. In an interview with her, she says that “It was like he was saying ‘You can’t do anything about it.’” She was waving HER hand around. The police came and questioned him and the other parents and found out that he hadn’t said anything, hadn’t pointed at his gun, and hadn’t waved it around.
In the case of the “gang of armed men” who “frightened the employees so badly that they hid in the freezer”, that also is a complete fabrication. In this case, it was four guys WITH THEIR FAMILIES who came in. The employees did nothing but their jobs, and the person who called the cops lied about it all.
Yep. The Left is really delusional. I was out on a local fishing pier and another guy struck up a conversation and it turned to the new at the time laws in Mississippi where it finally became legal to actually practice Constitutional open carry.
He said he saw someone with a gun on his hip and the guy was "all cocky and swaggering". I asked if the guy actually did something or if the mere sight of the gun may have caused him to perceive it differently. He claimed he could tell when someone was feeling all cocky and "swaggery", and having a gun made people that way.
I never bothered to let him know I had one on my hip under my shirt - he might have jumped into the water to get away...
