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

I'm not sure Massad Ayoob would agree, but I'm not an expert.

Seems to me brandishing is a bit problematic, but as I said I'm not an expert.

What’s your definition of brandishing?

You don't need to be an expert to know when it is time to defend yourself.

What would you advocate as an alternative to "brandishing" if the armed defender is openly threatened?

Do you think saying "Pretty Please, Don't Be Unkind To Me" would work?

Or just take the MAGA hat off as the attacker demanded then getting down on hands and knees to lick his boots?

Neither is he.
