Most states have a legal definition, of which I am quite assured you are aware.
The shotgun was carried for self-defense. How is he supposed to conceal a shotgun? Not brandishing. Besides, you said gunpoint.
If you do not know how to carry a shotgun in a nonthreatening manner versus a threatening manner, you really should sell every gun you own for your own good.
It is not a subtle distinction.
As a matter of fact, I have carried an uncased shotgun down city sidewalks in a nonthreatening manner several times, and nobody batted an eye.
At the ready isn't brandishing.
It sure as [bleep] is when you have been chasing a man through the city streets screaming death threats at him.
It has been several months since I watched the video, and I can not review it today with present bandwidth. But as I remember, it showed McMichaels being very aggressive, including brandishing while Arbery did nothing except that which could be explained by fear.
Am I mistaken in my memory that younger McMichael was standing in the back of the pickup with his shotgun while his dad drove to pursue Arbery?
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
