"It wasn't brandished, CJ did no wrong..."

Yes he did. "Brandish" doesn't necessarily mean to unholster it and wave it about. Check out definition 2:

Main Entry: 1bran·dish
Pronunciation: 'bran-dish
Function: transitive verb
Etymology: Middle English braundisshen, from Middle French brandiss-, stem of brandir, from Old French, from brand sword, of Germanic origin; akin to Old English brand
1 : to shake or wave (as a weapon) menacingly
2 : to exhibit in an ostentatious or aggressive manner

Ostentatious is a given. Aggressive is open to debate, but I say the double walk around the table, showing the weapon, was aggressive.

Open carry is LEGAL in his state....right? Isf so, how can this be considered brandishing?

[xcamel]

In a state where legal open carry is the law, could one not reasonably be expected to actually see someone carrying a firearm? If so, nothing was "brandished", and like 250 of the 300-odd posts, is is just another symptom of totally warped perceptions of all the horse$hit reasons and excuses why one must not exercise their second amendment rights.
