That will be the charge filed, regardless of the conflict with the meaning.

No charge will be filed. That's silly. Various definitions of brandishing follow:

Brandishing - display or exhibition of a dangerous weapon, with the intent to use, intimidate, or threaten another person without justification.

Note “without justification”.

“To wave or flourish in a menacing, defiant, or excited way.”

Note “wave” and “excited way”.

“to shake or wave (something, such as a weapon) menacingly.”

Note “Menacingly”.

“Brandishing is one thing, but aiming is the ultimate brandishing,”

Note “aiming it”.

“to draw or exhibit the weapon in a threatening manner, or to use it in a fight, other than in self-defense.”

Note “threatening manner” and “other than in self-defense”.

Note “without justification”.

In this state self defense is treated as unjustified.
