Concealed to Brandishing

[rseymorejr]

When a suspicious looking person approaches you while you are pumping gas don't let them get too close. When they get to about 30 feet
spin around to face them, whip out your pistol and point it straight at them. Stare them down and say "Did I pump 6 gallons or only 5? To tell the truth, in all this excitement I forgot myself. Do you feel lucky? Well, do you punk?"
That will instantly deescalate the situation.

And Fabs.....

Then it will turn into a “What if my Taurus needs a water pump?” thread
I see Blaster beat me to it lol

Just asking, because this is something that either get covered or should have been asked in your class.

... so is semi concealed OK? I'd like to get this cleared up right now...

I bought a used gas pump handle on Amazon, cut it in half and put my pistol inside. Now when I pump gas with my gun at the ready it looks just like I am confused and holding 2 pumps.

I propose a What If Forum.

It will be the most active forum on MDS.

Excellent odds of it matching the Epic Picture thread for popularity and traffic .

Odds of ever having a consensus on anything are slim .

 

[Biggfoot44]

I dunno.
I would just keep answering that you don't pull your gun until it's time to shoot. And Fabs would just somehow keep relating to stories about fixing his 93 Taurus.
Pretty boring if you ask me.

But would be epic about dealing with attempted gas station carjackings of '93 Tauri , and dealing with bike path rage incidents .

Habitual " semi- concealed " is just as valid ( legal ) as Open or Actual Concealed .

Bringing from concealed to semi with a flourish , while deliver a string of Pointed profanity , locked into a Clint Eastwood state would be the same discussion as doing likewise while transitioning from full conceal to full open

Is there any penalty for brandishing a gun in a caliber with which I did not qualify?

 

[smokey]

then there's always the ol' felon-flambé defense...

Yes, ask Blaster

Genius. Embarrassing I didn’t think of it to ask.

 

[teratos]

Yes, ask Blaster

Who’s with me?

What if we add a what if forum? What if we make Blaster and RoadDawg co-moderators. They have to agree on all their decisions before taking any steps.

If Concealed under shirt IWB and you adjust the shirt inside the firearm, exposing the firearm;

Is that considered brandishing?

Your question has been answered. In MD, the W&C permit allows for open or concealed carry, so there is no harm if you reveal that you're carrying concealed (accidently or even on purpose).

There also is no brandishing law in MD.

However, if you try to use the presence of the gun to intimidate or otherwise influence a non-life threatening encounter, then you have almost certainly broken the law. While there is no brandishing law on the books, there are laws that they can charge you with to cover this scenario.

"I pulled out my gun...not to shot him. I know when to use a gun."
Dude had no reason to even ask the kids to leave as he had nothing to do with the church.

[outrider58]

I think the op needs to look up the word brandish.

I keep thinking that most of MDS is composed of "What Ifs?"

What if we skip having a what if forum?
