“”””””’I’m not afraid to comment. I’m not afraid to pro forma disparage a leftist.

The patriot was well within his rights and the law to brandish (and more) in response to assault. “”””””””””

I took the carry class in Minnesota about a month ago. They said it could be illegal to brandish a gun, knife, baseball bat or anything that could be considered a weapon.

The law seemed confusing to me but I would brandish and stop a possible assault and worry about the consequences later.

Apparently not being willing to whip it out in response to a person shouting at you means you're not joining the team.

I'd like to know more about what the numb-nuts who started the confrontation was doing before MAGA pulled it out.

“I took the carry class in Minnesota about a month ago. They said it could be illegal...”

What the stinking Hell? Take a course on supporting a comrade.

I don't have time to go through all his videos again, but Massad Ayoob — who I trust knows the law, at least in New Hampshire — said IIRC that brandishing was a fairly big deal and depending on the circumstances could land you in a lot of hot water. I don't think it's something one should do in response to an obnoxious person yelling at you.

Now, if he advanced, or tried to make physical contact, that's another matter.

So that basically means that a person who can't defend himself with his fists had better stay home, because no other equalizer is allowed.

I guess "Minnesota nice" is supposed to be enough to see you through.

Brandishing is not pointing a gun at the ground.
